I've been on Citalopram for 6 months, things in my life much better now and i feel its the right time to come off them. 4 weeks ago i dropped from 20mg to 10mg and last week i stopped altogether to experience bad withdrawal symptons, exstream tiredness, feeling dizzy to the point of not driving, head aches and mood swings. After a week of cold turkey I've just taken one again , the withdrawal wasn't getting any better, in fact after a week I felt worse, my poor kids have taken the brunt as i'm either on my bed asleep or shouting at them! What's the best way to come off? How long does the withdrawal take if i'm brave enough to go cold turkey again???
