Does Citalopram (20mg) make you snore? I started taking them 4 weeks ago and now I'm sooo tired and keep falling asleep like nothing on earth. Is this normal? Thanks.

    If it is causing you to snore and you haven't done so before taking it, then it could be a mild allergic reaction causing your throat to swell or close up.

    Citalopram is not know for causing drowsiness but some people may react to medication differently than others.

    If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking citalopram and call your doctor immediately or seek emergency medical treatment:

    an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat, hives; swelling of the lips, tongue, or face)
    an irregular heartbeat or pulse
    low blood pressure (dizziness, weakness)
    high blood pressure (severe headache, blurred vision)
    chills or fever.


    If you experience any of the following less serious side effects, continue taking citalopram and talk to your doctor:

    headache, tremor, nervousness, or anxiety;
    nausea, diarrhea, dry mouth, or changes in appetite or weight;
    sleepiness or insomnia; or
    decreased sex drive, impotence, or difficulty having an orgasm.


    Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.
