    Reducing the dose !!!

    Hi guys, some of you will know that i have been reducing my citalopram slowly, have managed to get from 60mg to 20mg with little or no side effects, although it has taken me from april last year,

    However i have been doing this by reducing just 5mg at a time , on 23rd december i reduced from 25mg to 20mg, and all was well untill sunday, since then i have felt an increase in anxiety, and a drop mood.

    I am unsure as to whether this will pass, or i should i go back up to 25mg, as i don't want to have a relapse. any advice would be appreciated thanks x

    I've never been on cit, but from pervious withdrawal experience on Seroxat, I would go back up.

    Seroxat has syrup so it's easier to reduce by 1mg at a time, does cit?

    I would see how you feel now xmas is over and things get back to normality and if in a few days theres no lift in your anxiety/mood then i would def go back up again as its just not worth the chance of a relapse for the sake of 5mg, you may need to stick at 25mg for a while longer, really hope this is just a post xmas blip and you feel better soon xx

    Thanks, i think i will take 25mg tonight,and hopefully things will improve.

    I intend to stay on that for at least a few months, sometimes we are in too much of a hurry to get off the meds, but i know they have been helping me, as i have definately slipped back this week x
