Hi

I have regularly been referred to this site by a search engine when looking at citalopram and found it so useful and comforting to read the experiences of others. I have been on the drug 7 months for treatment of anxiety and mild depression (for the second time), I was on it for 4 years previously mainly for anxiety.

I have been tapering off citalopram now for the last five weeks and am going full the first full week if withdrawal (last tablet was Tuesday). Have been having the "electric shock" type feelings, nausea, dizziness, headaches...all the usual symptoms people describe and guess am just reaching out to all the other people out there going through the same thing! Its not easy going through this and since no family know I am on them only a few select friends, its not easy to get support.

I don't rememebr it being this bad last time I came off them!!!
