Hiya, my names Kerry, I just came accross the site whilst googling info on coming off Citalopram. And yep Im getting lots of the same horrible symptoms as described in the thread I found! :ohmy:


Im 28, married with a little girl aged 21 months, I live in the Midlands. Been suffering with "post natal depression" for a over a year but to be honest I dont think its related to having a baby, just happened to come out at the same time. Was also having marriage probs at the time, family feuds, self cofidence probs, image concerns, paranoia and general stress of life and overwhelming debt. I am mostly back to normal now but having just come off citalopram Im getting weird side affects so thought Id pop in and see if there is any advice.

I have been to groups before but always found them a bit cheesey and felt self conscious and like I didnt deserve to be there, but then thats all part of my problem!

Hoping to meet a few people in a similar situation.

Kerry.

:welcome: to NMP Kerry.

Citalopram leaves the system very quickly so don't go cold turkey as you may get side effects. It will need to be reduced gradually.
