Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
You have taken overdose of citalopram. Common symptoms are dizziness, hypotension, insomnia, nausea, vomiting, sinus tachycardia, and somnolence. Better to visit ER soon for supportive management. Six tablets is not fatal dose but still prevention is better than cure.
May I know one tablet of 10 mg or 20 mg each have you taken?
Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.
