Re: Citalopram Withdrawal, worst anxiety of my life.
This story sounds very similar to mine. It sounds like you are experiencing a condition called akathisia - a lot of the time it is related to antipsychotic use, but it is also caused by antidepressants, either when taking them or when withdrawing from them. The physical effects include restlessness, agitation, inability to sit still etc, while the mental effects include terror, intrusive thoughts, panic states - basically like an intense anxiety for no reason. I've had it and still experience it to this day, but it comes and goes.
What I would do in your situation is to reinstate citalopram at 5mg - a lot of people don't realise how powerful these drugs are. You may find that this dose may lower your anxiety while minimising the side effects. You could ride it out but there is no guarantee that you will heal quickly - in the worst cases, some people take a few years. At least at 5mg you could wait to stabilise, and then taper slowly from this dose once you feel ready to.
I'd avoid any other classes of antidepressants or long-term benzo use unless absolutely necessary.
