I have been taking predominantly 20mg citalopram for 6 years and have put on 3 dress sizes as a result, the weight issue is really getting me down and so I've decided to come off the citalopram. I've had no side effects by reducing down to 10mg so far however, if I have missed a tablet for whatever reason I have experience awful head crunching and dizziness. I inted to reduce gradually down to 5mg and then to none and I'm really worried about the side effects. Has anyone else had the weight problem taking citalopram and has coming off them helped?
