Hi there my name is Denisa and I have been on citalopram last 2 years. It was 20mg about to weeks ago I went to my gp and asked to put me on 10mg because I felt normal again. Anyway last few days I do feel bad really low.Can somebody tell if that's is normal and it's going to be fine. I'm just about to go back and increase my tablets back on 20mg.Pls help Denisa
I tried that Denisa and the same happened to me. I am now on 10mg though and fine. I've read so many different accounts on this but I dont think you can get away with no withdrawal effects. Why don't you give it some more time...? And don't fret!
Thank you it really helps if I know is normal to have these feelings. I will give it few more weeks to it,because I don't wanna go back and increase the tablets . Long term relationship and I would like to have baby in two years time so wanna get rid off it.have nice day and thank you again.
I'm doing the same thing right now. I was on citalopram for 7 years (yikes) and I've mainly stayed since the withdrawal effects are so terrible. I've been down to 10 mgs for almost 2 weeks now. It's been up and down. My anxiety has been high but I'm pushing through. I've been on them way too long to not have withdrawals. Hopefully they don't long long and we can move forward!
I just had really bad evening last night and it freaked me out I felt like two years ago I have had cry and felt really low. Don't want these feeling ever again is just horrible. Just have to be strong I guess. Is just really scary if u know what I mean. I have got massive support from my boyfriend but all my family is back home in my country so it bit harder for me to not have my mum and dad here.
I have gone down from 30 to 10 off my own back and I felt I was ready 5 days in I feel foggy in my thought. Almost like I need a sugar rush, when you research the tablets on the internet, they are the most horrid to get off. When I took my first dose I felt high as a kite and spaced out, I know it is supposed to effect mood with sereton but what else is in the mix no idea. I'm sticking with it as it seems normal, need to get off this crap x x
