Citalopram - Side effects Especially sleeping?

Hi, actually when i started Citalopram i found i slept much more than usual. It really varies from person to person... I would be very surprised if you find your insomnia worsens to the extent of not get any sleep at all. Have you ever followed a 'Sleep hygiene' guide? There are lots of tips that can help you sleep better, it seems you are in an unhealthy regime, watching TV when you wake at night and close to going to bed will stimulate your senses. Going for a wander around the house or garden isn't too much of a problem, but ideally if you can't sleep try some mindfulness techniques or reading a book. I hope you get on well with the medication

KenzoMeisha; Yes sleep is one of the side effects but only 10% and it also has drowsiness so all you can really do is start it and see which side effects you get it won't make it where you can't sleep at all. But if you have some problems give your doctor a call. When you first start lots of time you get side effects but they well mostly go away in a week or two it gets better and also with this one you get your blood level faster than many like it around 4 weeks Sounds like you should get started so some of the side effects prior to school again. hope it works out for you.
