Detailed Answer:
I am Dr Mittal. I have read your message. I think I can help you.
The fact remains that citalopram may have minor effects on blood pressure and therefore you may have sweating during the episode.
I suggest testing the blood pressure and sugars ; and if found to be low it would be better to change the medicines or its dose.
Constipation, nausea, diarrhea, upset stomach, decreased sexual desire, impotence, difficulty having an orgasm, diarrhea, dizziness, drowsiness, tiredness, sleep problems (insomnia), dry mouth, increased sweating or urination, weight changes, and cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat, or cough are other side effects.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information contained in this message will be ableto help you find the best solution for your problem. Best of luck. Dr Mittal.
