I have taken citalopram for years and its been my saviour - however last year I went on hols and forgot my pills and didn't take them all week and felt fine so decided to stop them, bad mistake !
I have gotten increasingly more anxious over the last few months and am also 15 weeks pregnant and feeling really anxious every day. I have a packet left and decided to start them again, so had one yesterday and felt awful for a few hours so took myself off to bed, feel ok this morning and actually feel really calm.
I know they are ok in pregnancy as I took them with my 2 year old and all through breastfeeding. But just wondered if anyone else has stopped and started a few months later ?
I forgot how bad the side effects could be but also know that the pros outweigh the cons and my head is feeling "less caring" already after one tablet. Could this be as I took them for years before ? as I know it normally takes a couple of week to kick in xx
