Coming off Cital after 2 years on 20mg

[Bel8]

Hi Mark

After 26 days and very little change to vertigo/dizziness which leads to nausea I am going to see my GP tomorrow morning ... just to be on the safe side.

Day 27

Well I'm feeling fine today, but yesterday I had a few dizzy spells but they only lasted a few minutes at most. I go abroad in two weeks, so I'll stay on the same dosage until I come back. But the very next day, I'll reduce to 5mg and stay on that dose for one month at least.

Take care x

Day 29

Feeling good, positive, full of energy, looking forward to the weekend.

Hi

I came off Escitalopram cold turkey last December. I had the lightheadedness, but nothing else really. Everything was really good for about 6 weeks, and then my anxiety came back worse then ever. GP said it had probably just completely got out of my system by then. I didn't believe all the hype about coming off the meds really slowly, and I thought I would be ok. However, after the horrendous time I have had since my anxiety returned, I will never do that again

DAY 35 on 10mg

I'm quite short-tempered today, have a bit of a headache.
No dizzy spells though.

DAY 40 on 10mg

A bit tired, sleepy, still ok though - no dizzy/wozzy spells.

DAY 55 on 10mg

Feel OK, no dizzy/woozy spells.
I think it's time to drop another 5mg.

DAY 4 on 5mg

Becoming more sensitive to everything and much more aware of my surroundings and interaction with people.
Still feel good though, and looking forward to being off Citalopram.
