I have been on 20mg Cit for about 1 year now and have finally made the decision to come off them.
I suffered from emotional lability which was a temporary side effect from having a brain haemorrhage.
I am a very grounded person with a tight grip on reality and a logical mind.
My coming off Cit plan is to reduce to 10mg per day for 1 month then reduce to 10 mg every other day for 1 month then stop. This is how my doctor advised I should do it.
I have now been on 10mg for 5 days
My side effects are horrible. I am really tired and irritable, both my daughter who is 3 and my wife are having to put up with my mood. Also I feel incredibly tense, tingly and jittery. I seem to have vivid thoughts which provoke strong emotions over tiny things I have seen or heard.
Is this temporary? I am tempted to jump back to 20mg.
