    Coming off Citalopram 20mg.

    Hi there,

    After a massive breakdown middle-end of last year and slipping into depression, I was prescribed 20mg Citalopram to help me along and also had 9 weeks of CBT sessions to help, which they both have.

    I feel ready, so with my doctors advice and after being on them for 6 months I am reducing my dose from every day to every other day for two weeks and then cold turkey. He said if I feel bad again to go back on and see him again so we can work out another way.

    I just wanted to see what experiences you had coming off it? Tomorrow will be my first day without then Wednesday I will take it (one on one off..).

    Would you say this is too fast of a way to reduce the amount as I don't want to go in reverse after coming so far....

    Also just a positive note - I was on Propranolol 80mg for 8 years and recently have managed to come off it completely after reducing the dose with doctors help. I was on it for anxiety. Feel like i've accomplished something mental health wise

    Thank you in advance
