I went on Citalopram about 5 years ago and had to take 40mg's, then when I stabalized, i went down to 20mg and eventually to 10 for a year or 2 and came off July 2011. I was perfect for a year and had no wd effects at all but started with anxiety again in 2012 when my marriage broke down and I'm tkaing Escitalopram this time. All the very best (:
