Hey guys,
I started taking citalopram again a few days ago and my heart beat is racing. I feel really shaking, like I've taken meow or cocaine (I haven't). Not quite sure what to do. I'm not seeing my psych nurse for another two weeks.
Help?!

How did the appointment go with the doctor?
I had a look at the NHS site to see what side effects are associated with citalopram - it says it's uncommon (more than 1 in 1000 people are affected) but faster heart rate is a known side effect.
Has it settled down at all since you last posted?
