Hi Elaine and welcome to NMP

I have never taken Cipralex so can't comment on the withdrawl sympotms, but maybe it will be worth going back to see your GP.

So pleased that you have found us. I am sure you will like it here as there is so much help, information and support. There is a chat room which is a great place to make new friends

Take care xxx

hi madelaine.i myself am in the process of trying to come off citalapram,theniuse to be on 60mg and then went down to 40mg i kinda just stopped taking them one day and its een about two weeks ive had the odd 20mg pill wen i feel not quite right. usualy within 3days of me not taking them im an absolute mess, sometimes i think the withdrawls are worse then the depression i first started with. ive been having days were i feel so angry over the slightest thing even down to the way my partner eats haha. the head jolts are so wierd to explain i thought i was going crazy but after looing on here i see its normal. im hoping this is it now, im coming off them to go bk to being just me. does anyone else pass out wen they get anxiety attacks? i pass out and throw up at the same time.

Hi Madelaine,

Welcome to NMP. Many here will be able to relate how you are feeling and will give their support. Sorry, I have never been on that medication so I can not offer any advice, hope you are feeling better soon.

Take care,

Hi. I have been on citalopram for 7 years. i kept forgetting to take them so, 2 weeks ago, I decided to stop altogether. All I can say is 'thank you' to No More Panic. I have been having all the symptoms(head wooshes, nausea, icky tummy etc) and feel really yucky. if it wasn't for this website I wouldn't have known that these symptoms were 'normal' I can't wait to feel better but for now I will continue bursting into tears and snapping at my husband and children. i know one day I will look back and know I did the right thing.
