Hi,
I am recently 'off' citalopram having been taking it for many years. I was on a 60mg dose then 40, 20 and reduced to none recently. I am having recurring thoughts, preoccupied with looking for a way out, drinking myself to an alcoholic end or just giving up on life entirely.
I don't really want to go back on to the meds as I live abroad and don't have medical care or enough pills left to go back on.
Does anyone know if these symptoms are normal, will they pass?
I don't know where to turn.
Thanks for any help
Hi, why have you come off it?
I was finding that things were going better for me. I stopped drinking worked a 12 step programme, got fit, meditation and ate well. I felt like I wanted to live without medication and see if would improve my libido too.
Alas, I feel back to where I always was
There are some of us who need on going medication like my mother needed insulin everyday. Its a condition like any other its just hard for us and others to accept it.
Have you had a review with GP? Hope you came off Citalopram slowly.
Take care
