Hi dominic,

welcome to NMP, if you read the medication forum, you will see that your should come off Citalopram under medical advice it is staggered to reduce withdrawal symptoms, I would advise you to see your GP if you are unhappy with the treatment you have been recieving.

again welcome to NMP

Hi and welcome
To echo Lynann did you come off the cit gradually? With anti d’s you have to gradually reduce the dose over a period. If you are not happy with your doc or therapist change one or both as these are the people that will ultimately help you get back on track. :)
