    Hi Irishguy

    Although you have only been taking this meds for a short period of time, try to come off them as slowly as possible as coming straight off them can create more side effects.

    Good luck with it

    Hi Irish guy I have the same dose Citalopram as you. I did have a break from them last year and the dr advised me to take one every other day for a week and then gradually come off to avoid side effects, as they leave the system quickly.
