What Do I Keep Falling Asleep All Of A Sudden?
Why do I keep falling asleep?
One minute I am wide awake, then I ome over really tired and can't fight it. I have been like it for about a week. I breasteed a baby and toddler but eat plenty and try to eat healthily. I have been on citalopram 20mg for almost 4wks now. I had this when I was pregnant with my youngest but when I jad my iron levels checked they were ok (13). I am defintely no pregnant. I have occassionaly checked my blood sugar levels and they appear to be fine. Any ideas please? Thanks

Hi.Thanks for writing on HCM.
Citalopram might cause excessive sleepiness or drowsiness.If this is disturbing your routine I were to either titrate the dose or switch on an alternate drug after tapering Citalopram gradually.
Hope this answers your question.
