Because I feel like crap and not sure if it's the reduction or a bug or something.
I began taking citalopram in Jan 2015 when my amazing, life long best friends cancer was deemed terminal (a poxy 2 weeks after she was told she was cancer free).
She passed away in May and I've continued with the 30mg a day.
I began to reduce them 5 weeks ago (taking the 20mg tablet every day and the 10mg tablet every other day).
Right now I feel like crap, my head feels weird my legs are shaky (could be a bug?) but I also feel unhappy, snappy, anxious, pissed off and as though I have something big to worry about but not sure what it is. Or that something big is looming that is bad.
Thing is, I didn't feel those things before my friend was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
So I have some questions if that's ok?
Is coming off citalopram creating these feelings?
Does that mean I'm more 'stuck' on them than I realised?
If I continue this reduction (as in, not reduce further, but continue taking it as I have the last 5 weeks) will these feelings subside? If so, how long will it take?
I'm really not up for feeling like a shaky, snappy misery when Christmas is coming up and I have a new, full on job which needs me to be happy and on the ball.
