Hi all! I'm wanting to conduct more research for the Citalopram Survival Guide, and also get some feedback from other members.
I may have mentioned in the past that I often feel "better" on days when I do not take citalopram. I sometimes find it relieves the "pressure" in my head, and for some reason my mood improves. I feel a sense of relief.
A friend told me that this could be euphoria caused by my brain releasing happy chemicals to compensate for the lack of inositol.
However - I have been experiencing a "blip" this week and I did not take my citalopram until later than usual today. Now that I've taken it, I feel an increased sense of nervousness.
I did not notice this "nervous" feeling until about 3-4 weeks on cit. It developed gradually from a slight nervous watchfulness to a full-on feeling of doom.
The longest I have gone without cit was a self-imposed 5-day ban (to see what would happen). I believe I started to experience withdrawal effects on day 5.
Has anyone got any thoughts? Is citalopram not the med for me? Should I come off it and just use higher doses of inositol?
