2 weeks in and having a heavy mid cycle bleed. My GP says it is not linked to citalopram must be stress, which is a joke as my life now has no way been as stressful as it was a few years ago. started taking 10mg citalopram instead of HRT as increasing health anxieties. I read the instructions and bleeding is a less common side effect so i assume it still means it occurs. So far citalopram has definitely made a positive difference to my work life, I don't seem to be setting myself so many unrealistic goals. Hopefully kick into my personal life soon!
