HiI understand your concern.If you are feeling sleepy after taking medicines then need to consult your doctor.Need to dose reduction of citalopram.10 mg is also useful to treat anxiety and depression.need to consider if any other medicine that have you taken along with citalopram.Substitute like sertraline is also beneficial in depression and anxiety.So discuss with your psychiatrist and get help.It is unusual that sleeping for 48 hours with citalopram.Still have a query then feel free to ask.Thank you.
