Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello I am currently taking citalopram and have so far only had mild side effects such as loss of appetite and trouble sleeping. However in the past 3 weeks I have been getting painful stomach aches that give you cold sweats. Today I had a gradual pain in my abdomen that grew into a stomach ache I was having cold sweats and everything it went away after about 5 min but then I started to get severe vertigo and my hearing became muffled as well as awful nausea and spotty black/grey vision I was literally dripping sweat. So that was weird. Just wondering if I should get checked out and what was happening to me.
It seems to have side effect of citalopram or may result of drug drug interaction if you took it along with other medicines.
Need to consult physician for routine check up and examination to find appropriate causes of these complains. It may be due to abdominal infection or flu like symptoms then Complete blood count is advisable.
If it is medicines related then need to change medicines to avoid such side effects.

Hi. I had gone through your query. It seems to have side effect of citalopram or may result of drug drug interaction if you took it along with other medicines. Need to consult physician for routine check up and examination to find appropriate causes of these complains. It may be due to abdominal infection or flu like symptoms then Complete blood count is advisable. If it is medicines related then need to change medicines to avoid such side effects. Consult psychiatrist and discus about it. I hope i have answered your query. Thank you.
