My mum was on a low 10mg dose about a year ago. She has recently seen her GP And asked to come off of them. I have just come home from holiday to find her quite unwell. She has been very dizzy, massively tired , feels like her brain is being shaken and electric shocks in her fingers. Yesterday she saw the nurse at the doctors who is doing a blood test on Wed and did an ECG there and then Mum asked if it could be to do with coming off the citalopram and was dismissed . I have asked her when she started feeling rough and it is around the date she came off citalopram . Having done a quick search I have read you shouldn't just stop taking them as your body can react badly. Her GP didn't tell her this and cancelled her repeat prescription. Do these sound like the symptoms you can get? If so how long do they last ? Any advice?
