Hello,
The symptoms are indicative of two diffrential diagnosis-
1. either your depression is not properly controlled with citalopram and the symptoms are due to it
2. OR you have develpoed diabetes ( or provided you are already a diagnosed case)
So, get sugar levels and thyroid done and if they are normal, then either increase the dosage of citalopram or change to a better and effective molecule.
Hope the reply is useful
