Citalopram withdrawal question...

Treatment and medication
1

I've been taking 40 mgs of this medication for at least 10 years.

With my doctor's help I reduced it to 20 mgs one month ago.

I have more energy and less agitation - it's great!

The only problem is I just came through a nasty bout of constipation.

Usually I never have a problem with this.

I think it's a part of the withdrawal for me.

Nothing else different in my life.

The timing with the decrease and the constipation -fits to a tee.

I appreciate any feedback on this.

Hi Barbara, it wouldnt surprise me as it effects everyone differently.

its crazy how it effects our bodies! Mine has done the opposite, I have the runs.

I was on 40mg ages and felt like a zombie ... then I went to 20mg and your right lots of energy and more alert 😁

Thanks for your reply.

I am going to stay on the 20 mg for awhile.

Let my body stabilize.
