Hello, greetings! Thanks for your query. Citalopram belongs to a class of drugs called Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs). Overusage of this drug may lead to symptoms like, sweating, fatigue, diarrhoea, changes in blood pressure. I suggest you consult your psychiatrist to reduce/modify your dose accordingly.
