I was on 20mg of Citalopram for 8 months, but I felt they were not really were helping me. I was tired all the time and felt 'heady' and generally ill, so after speaking to my GP I stopped them about 2 weeks ago.

Stopping the meds is the best thing I have ever done! I am back to feeling 'normal', I sleep less in the day and no longer have a 'woozy' head all the time. Looking back, I feel I was 'drugged' for 8 months. Obviously the meds just did not suit me, but I would never take any antidepressents again after my experience.

I know some of us NEED meds, but do not be afraid to speak to your GP if you are feeling bad - perhaps you need to change your pills - or come off them altogether and look at alternatives.

Love to all

Hi Janice,

Did you have any withdrawal systoms when you came of citalopram. Want to come off mine but I am scared of the withdrawal.
