fruitisbad Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 is it a side effect of the drug, or are you eating more due to whatever? maybe try a different drug, fluoxetine or something? dependign on what you';re taking it for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medusa Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Oh dear- citalopram is renowned for the weight gain for some people unfortunately. When I started taking citalopram my GP basically said just to ignore it and it will all drop off when you stop taking them. I didn't find it that easy to be honest though, and the weight gain just makes you feel that little bit extra crappy, doesn't it? I hope that the citalopram is doing you good and that you lose it easily enough when you come off the pills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
