Hi everyone,

Brand new to the forum, so hope I'm doing this right!

I wondered if anyone had been in a similar situation to me. I've been on citalopram (20-30 mg) for most of the past 15 years, however I had an ECG a few weeks back, which showed 'minor changes'. My GP advised me to come off citalopram completely, and I have tapered off 10 mg per week since then, and have now stopped taking it as of last night. Naturally, this is all happening during a bad episode for me, so keeping a lid on the anxiety is really hard!

I'm having a bad time with withdrawal symptoms, plus the underlying anxiety. I've got a repeat ECG next week, and can't help worrying about this as well.

Any advice for getting through this?
