Hi all, I've been on Citalopram 10mg per day for over two years now. They took ages to work, and I had some side-effects, dizziness, tingling, headaches etc. These could have been from anxiety though. I took voluntary redundancy from work at the end of June, mainly because of the stress at work. Things are definitely better these days and I have a part time job, not stressful (I am 55 by the way).
I saw my GP a few weeks ago, told him about my changes in life, and suggested I should like to come off my medication. He changed my prescription to Cipramil drops on a reducing scale for a couple of months and then stop.
Have any of our members been on this prior to coming off? I shall go back to my GP if things don't go well.
Look forward to hearing your comments, take care, Stefan.
