I'm on a low dose of citalopram and it works well for me generally.
But I keep having saliva go down the wrong way when I'm either dozing off or asleep. This make me cough and it feels like I can't actually clear it properly from my wind pipe.
And once it's happened, I get anxious that it's going to happen again and so that probably makes it worse.
I've woken with a sore throat this morning as I was coughing so much last night. VERY annoying for DP too!
Could this be a side effect of citalopram do you think? or maybe a symptom of anxiety? Or something unrelated which I've become anxious about?

Citalopram and swallowing. Is this a thing?
