Thanks Clio, that's interesting. I feel sure it's got to be linked to electrical impulses somehow. But I might be talking nonsense I've not had the dry tongue you mention, that I can think of. The only other side effect I got was upper gastric pain, so I take omeprazole to combat that and try to make sure I take the ven with food.

I noticed a post on the citalopram board about this head shock thing with late doses too, which I will try to get around to replying to soon. Reckon our elite club could be bigger than we think. My theory, and that's all it is (!) is that some people just metabolise these drugs much quicker than others, and those people are more likely to experience withdrawal more quickly if late or missing doses. Would love to know what really causes this.
