Side effects? How long for my body to get use to the medication?
Cilift (citalopram) can be associated with muscle aches and pain in some persons. Normally it takes a few weeks (two to four weeks) to get use to the medication.
If you continue to feel this way, then you should re visit your doctor. Your doctor may need to switch to an alternative.
I hope this helps
