Hi, I have been citalopram for 9 years for anxiety although the last few years was proving ineffective.
My doctor wanted me to come off if it as i was suffering a fast heart rate and some palpitations. I went from 20mg to 10mg in October last year and felt awful very dizzy etc so we stayed on that dose until 3 weeks ago when they told me today week of 10mg one day and 5mg the next then a week of 5mg the finally a week of 5mg every other day. My last dose was a week ago and I was ok until day 5 of stopping when have these zapping noises and swishing in my head, tinnitus and I feel like I'm going to lose my balance. I feel really rough.
Does anyone think this could be withdrawal side affects? I'm not sure how long I can put up with this
