    ssri withdrawal syndome after sort course?

    Hi
    anyone taken cit and quit after a short spell and experienced discontinuation symptoms?

    I took 5 mg over 10 days and had the lot (maybe still do)

    crying
    agitation
    chronic anxiety/depersonalisation
    restless legs/akathasia
    paresthesia

    would be interested to know as much of the lit describes this for withdrawal from much longer courses of treatment.

    You may have had a bad reaction to it.

    Were you on any medication before? If so, it may also be withdrawal from that...

    Hey I had all these side effects you mentioned after upping my dose to 40mg 11 days ago, so tomorrow I go back to 30mg. I also had those effects when I first started the dose at 10mg. I would speak to your doctor before discontinuing citalopram. I'm on it 5 years, however 10 days is very short.
