I've been taking citalopram since April 2015 and the last week I don't know why but I've sort of been in self destruct mode and not been taking it. Probably also because I take my contraceptive pill at the same time but have been on my period so just haven't taken either of them. But now my head just feels like it's so floaty and like it's unbalanced. I know I should just start taking it again but I just wanted to know if this is normal?
Yes its normal. It's not good to miss the medicine, and you'll find that if stopping completely (cold turkey) it will make you feel very ill. When the time comes to come off the medicine it's best done as slow as possible ie 5mg at a time.
Try not to miss your dose - the longer without them the worse you'll feel.

Thank you I just thought I was going madder than I already was!! I definitely won't be missing any. Feel so sick now I've taken it but I guess that's from being without it for a week. Thanks again
Yes nauesea is typical too if you miss doses. I've done the same - only missed he occasional one or taken it late - but it made me feel very heady and sick. You might feel sick/heady for a little while yet as the meds settle down again.
