I was diagnosed with PND shortly after having my first baby, I've been taking 20mg of Citalopram for a few months now. It hasn't been a total cure-all but has really helped me to just crack on with the day a bit better.. anyway, being as disorganised as I am, I thought that I had another pack to take, but actually had none left :(
Due to being away from my doctor's and unable to order a prescription any sooner I've now been off them for 1 week. I'm due to pick up another pack tomorrow but I've had horrible withdrawal symptoms this week, especially the last two days (poor DP has suffered my awful moodswings and I've been very woozy/lightheaded and panicky)..
So is it ok to just start taking them as normal once I pick them up tomorrow? And will I end up having the same nasty headachy/nauseous feelings that I had when getting used to them the first time around? I've no intention of cutting them out altogether, this week has shown me how much help they have been! :(
