I recently increased my dose of citalopram to 20mg (for 3 days) and I am experiencing more extrasystoles than before... Is this normal?

It is possible that increasing the dosage of a medication like citalopram can temporarily increase anxiety and cause faster heartbeats. This could lead to sensations of heart palpitations. It is recommended to consult a doctor if you are experiencing extrasystoles to rule out any potential issues. These symptoms should gradually decrease and disappear within a week. If they persist, it is advisable to discuss this with your doctor who may want to examine you in person or adjust your dosage. Reverting back to your previous dosage may help alleviate the symptoms quickly.
