been off them for 5/6 days now and the brain zaps are still there, does anyone know how long these will go on for? im coping with them ok but just wanted a rough idea if its weeks or months?

Did you taper slowly or just stop....I think that makes a difference
Hi, its my first time on citalopram so can't say for this med. I've been on other anti-depressants through the years though and had bad head zaps from withdrawal. I tapered down my meds each time and towards the end was biting tablets in half. The head zaps lasted throughout this and for a few weeks after finishing.
Have you tapered down or just completely stopped? I think the doctor can prescribe something to help you if they are causing a problem. It is horrible coming off ADs and its a big reason why I had to be persuaded to go on them again after reaching crisis point.
Id go and talk to your doctor and see what they suggest x
I came off 20mg after 5 successful years and I'd say it was at least 2-3 weeks before the withdrawal started to subside.
