Side-effects log: two weeks on citalopram

[kaberett]

I was started on (and am continuing on) a dose of 10mg/day, taken when I wake up (still wildly variable). I seem to be sleeping a lot and I seem to have a very short attention span; it's hard to tell if it's having any effect other than that, yet, because hormones blah blah cyclical blah blah degraded blah blah - basically, I am currently in a patch where I would be pretty stable anyway, and my mood is at what I consider to be my baseline normal, so. The real test will occur over the next fortnight or thereabouts. (And who knows? Maybe if this works I won't be out of endo management options after all - I might be able to try a progesterone-only method again...)

Hmmm... Disturbed sleep. Odd dreams, too?

Apocalyptic flatulence? (Feel free not to answer that one)

[kaberett]

I'm sleeping more but not worse than pre-antidepressants; I'm not getting vivid dreams any more than is consistent with the amount of sleep I'm getting[1]. No apocalyptic flatulence. :-p

[1] Long history of shitty sleep (depression-disrupted) means I have experience with OH WOW VIVID DREAMS if I suddenly begin to get enough!
