hello, i can relate to this, when i first started coming off citalopram i went down from 20mg to 15mg and the symptoms i got were dizzyness but i was also so angry all the time id kick off about anything and everything, i was very emotional and did cry quite a lot but i cried mainly when i got too angry cause i didnt know how to express it. i did a lot of research on the withdraw effects and i warned the people around me that i might be a little snappy or emotional etc so people knew not to take it personally. ive been off the tablets for 2 months now and my mood is okay i never really get angry anymore i am so much calmer than even before i ever took cit. also not sure if the dreams were due to withdrawl but i remember getting really vivid dreams id wake up thinking they were real even if they were crazy ones. it will get better x
Thanks usual question can you remember how long before things started to improve? These meds gave me OCD apparently can be side effects and made intrusive thoughts much worse so hopefully now I'm off them things will improve. Trued 2 different ones neither helped. Have read citalopram one of hardest come off. Dreams almost like nightmares sometimes, and feel quite nauseous some mornings
when i came down from 20mg to 15mg i stayed at that dose for 6 weeks and reviewed how i felt, i think if i remember correctly, i only had dizzyness for about 2 week not all the time though just every now and then. and i stopped noticing any other withdrawl symptoms when i got to 10mg. i had a really easy time coming off i was expecting to go through hell but it seems to be hitting me now like a delayed reaction, but theres no way im going back on these tablets they never worked for me anyway
actually come to think of it, over the past 2 months since coming off cit ive felt quite nauseous sometimes just randomly so maybe that was a withdrawl symptom of mine too without me putting 2 and 2 together
