    its normal to get an increase in anxiety during the first week or so, as your body adapts to your new medication. perhaps this is what you are experiencing, I did when I took citalopram.

    those are side effects of citalopram, they shouldn't bother you too much, but if they bother you a lot, talk to your doctor about changing to another medication which has less side effects for you.

    You should contact your doctor. Citalopram should not affect you this way.
