I am now on my sixth day without Citalopram. I tappered from 20 mg to nothing over a six week period. I went down 5mg every two weeks. I had no real bad side effects until I stopped the med altogether. Now I feel sick, have had bad headaches, nausea, and panic attacks. I know these are all withdrawl symptoms and I am trying to stick it out longer before bumping back up to 5mg. I am also on my period so I think that is making me feel even worse. I also seem to feel worse at night then during the day. Please respond with any encouraging thoughts or your own story of withdrawl from Citalopram. How long did withdrawl symptoms last for you?
