withdrawal from citalopram

[atki]

Hello

Has anyone had bad withdrawl symptons comin off of citalpram? i have only dropped from 10mg to 5mg and the last 2 weeks have not been good. anxiety is worse and i cant stop crying all the time. its the weekend now so i dont have work to worry about and yet i still feel bad. grateful for any replies:weep:

I can't speak about Citralapram but, reducing and coming off Sertraline isn't very 'nice'.

Why have you reduced your dose?

i would like to start a family soon and my doctor has said its dangerousto be on any medication. how about you?

I've been off a while now as to be honest it didn't 'work' for me - my problem with anxiety was no better 'on' Sertraline than off it.

Good luck and take things steady.

Hi, yes I was on 20mg of Citalopram went to 10mg then every other day took 10mg, then decided to take 5mg daily after 3 days of doing this my anxiety was so bad, I called the GP and he said Im having bad withdrawel and to go on 10mg daily again, this is so hard to come off Im still feeling very much on edge now. Go back to your Gp if your starting to feel bad as you may not be ready to stop yet. Take care
