Hi Ian.
I was taking 20mg citalopram for 8 weeks. I saw my GP this week because was still having problems with insomnia on citalopram. I was taken off citalopram and started on 30mg mirtazepine instead (on day 5 of just 30 mg mirtazepine).
I haven't yet had any problems as a result of coming off the citalopram, but my GP did say that I may do, so I think it is normal that your reduction in dose has caused those effects in you.
I'm not an expert in this or a medical professional though, I would suggest talking to your GP if you have any concerns.
Thanks itso, I have put off withdrawing,cutting down, as my housing agents are making us move home again as they say this place is unfit to live in due to damp.I have only been here 3 weeks and spent Christmas moving in,unpacking and then packing back up to move on Monday??I seriously think some people purposely make life as hard as possible.This is my 5th move in two years and am just fed up with it.sorry to vent but its driving me mad,madder.
It's ok to vent on here, vent away. Even if nobody listens I find at least it gets it off your own mind.
