Evening all, firstly the total may be miss leading! I've suffered with depression/anxiety for around 10 years (I'm currently 39) my original symptoms were a general Ill feeling with sickness, no interest in anything and generally feeling poop! I was put on citalopram and have been on them since. I've had a few ups and downs but mainly ups. Most of my downs have been during the winter when I tend to get blips but nothing too major, it usually picks up within 2-3 weeks. I've also had a few instances when I've had a big night out on the booze and ended up being bad for a few weeks. It has always picked back up once my levels sort themselves out. The reason I'm

I saw the Doc and explained what I had done and he basically said I had come off the citalopram in the totally wrong way. I started back on citalopram 40mg at the end of oct and by mid/end Nov I was back to my normal self. Because of this I had a few xmas nights out which included 2 good sessions!

It's gradually got worse and I feel like I'm having some of the side effects of the citalopram again with the light head, nausea and loss of appetite. My question is could me drinking heavily on 2-3 occasions close together after restarting the full dose of citalopram some how have stopped them working and now I'm suffering some of the side effects again?? The docs don't seam to be able to answer much!
