Citalopram and weight gain, When does it start?
I only take 10 mg of citalopram, it's a low dose but helps me a great deal. I have been on it for about 5 months. This past month, I want to eat everything. I have a sweet tooth that i never had before. I am eating an extra 2 meals a day, I am so hungry. I told my doctor and he said that weight gain would have happened earlier when I started the medication, so it is unlikely that it is the meds. Friends told me they started gaining weight aroud 5 months too. Has anyone experienced this, is my doctor just wrong?

I must admit i have been on the lose dosage of citalopram and it did make me have more of an apetite and usually i don't have one, i found myself eating about 3 bars of chocolate instead of one, i didn't gain any weight but i found myself being more hungry than usual.I hope this helps.
I have been taking Citalopram for 2 years, and have put on weight over that time, but that is not to say that it is the citalpram that has caused it. They have to put every thing that has been reported on the leaflet, but it doesn't mean that everyone who takes it is going to get that side effect. I have never had any bad side effects from it, and it works very well for me, although I know someone else who has, and had to stop taking it. It affects evreyone differently.You have to weigh up whether the benefits you get from it, outweigh any side effects.Good luck.
