Hi,
I know there are threads around about Citalopram and stuff and I know there can be problems on coming off.
I have no intention of coming off meds just now, been on them a year and shrink reckons I will need two years from the point of being 'stable'
I would just like to know, has anyone been on meds a long time (2 plus years) and come off them?
What were the effects other than the temporary withdrawal?
Has anyone come off them after long term and then stayed off them with success?(ie no recurrence of major anx or depression?)
I am on an SSRI max dose and an anti psychotic. Shrink says the anti psychotic is not addictive but I already feel I have a prob as I am frequently upping my dose so I can sleep (it isn't prescribed to make me sleep) and I have refused another med as it would mean coming off this one!
So, any experiences of anyone coming off either SSRI's or anti psychotics after a long time on them would be great.
Happyone
xx
