Faz muito tempo, eu sei, mas se você receber esta mensagem, há alguma chance de me informar os detalhes do livro, por favor?
Ei! Espero que esta mensagem chegue até você. Isso melhorou? Xx
Oi Kate, não tenho certeza se essa mensagem vai chegar até você, mas estou orando para que sim, depois de ler seus posts e ver quantas pessoas se beneficiaram com suas informações! Você se lembra como foi a semana 13 para você? Xxxx
It is very difficult to discern whether one is having withdrawal symptoms or if they are anxiety and depression returning. I figured out mine was withdrawal as I used to have anxiety in waves but in withdrawal it was constant agitation. I found Dr Mark Horowitz, an NHS psychiatrist in London who has written a manual on withdrawal. I did his program to withdraw from citalopram - I was on 20mg for 5 years. It took me two years to withdraw following his plan - it was the hardest thing to stay patient but I got very little withdrawal effects using his plan. I would have a few for about 3 days and then they would subside. I finished this month and am feeling great. I specifically used his 10% hyperbolic withdrawal plan. I asked the GP to change my script to drops and worked out the plan on an excel spreadsheet. I bought a conical and 1ml syringes from good pharmacy supplier online. It was quite something to measure it each day but I got used to it. If you Google the psychiatrist you can watch interviews and he explains the process.
Hi everyone. I have been taking Citalopram 20mg for a few years now. I had a bit of a rough year so I thought I’d try increasing my dosage to 30mg around Christmas time. I had some horrible side effects which I weren’t aware were side effects at the time.
Skip a week or so, I had ran out of my medication so returned to my normal dose for around a week. Then, once I got my medication, I increased to 30mg and realised how I felt at Christmas was how I was feeling now, because I had increased the dose.
Long story short, this made me realise that I was actually okay with my 20mg dosage and it made me realise I was managing my anxiety quite well (until these last few weeks). I have been back to my 20mg for 4 nights and wow has it been a rough couple of weeks.
Waking up with crippling anxiety, racing heart, racing thoughts, tingling chest, tense stomach etc. I also have absolutely no appetite all day long. It’s almost as if the thought or sight of food absolutely repulses me, as a foodie I am really struggling with this so trying to eat as and when I can and I’ve found meal replacement shakes have been a godsend.
I was just wondering if anyone is able to send me the name and author of the book mentioned by Katecoggs throughout this thread? Thank you to everyone who has posted in this forum. I’ve read through random posts from 2017 till now and have found comfort in the fact I’m not alone with what I am experiencing. Sending everyone hope 
We will all get there in the end!
