Hi, I am new here, and have just in desperation found this wonderful, helpful and meaningful forum. I am desperate to come off citolopram, and have tried many, many times to come off the horrible pills, but unfortunately cannot bear the awful, awful side effects. I have tried cold turkey (disaster), have tried cutting down, cutting out, but these pills always seem to get the better of me.
I was first put on these things three years ago (20mg) when I was in a private rehab clinic detoxing from an addiction dependency of temazepam. I was there for 3 weeks and can quite honestly say, that was a breeze compared to getting off these horrible pills. Staying clean and sober from temazepam addiction after 13 years of using is a walk in the park. I have never felt so trapped as I do now, and the fact I was put on these while detoxing always leaves me with this big question mark - was I depressed in the first place? I truly do not think I was, but was given to me as a "just in case" situation. It was too late before I realized what was being given to me, and the truth of all this is, I really wonder who the true me is now.
Somebody out there, please try to give me some answers:weep:.
