Citalopram withdrawal vertigo

Does anyone have any experience of this? I reduced my doses over a month but a quarter of a tablet at a time. About three days after I stopped completely I started getting vertigo (or head zaps as they seem to be called a lot with regards to citalopram!) every time I move my head. Thankfully I've had no other symptoms except disturbed sleep for a couple of days. The vertigo is still going on two weeks later though!

Has anyone else had this? How long did it take to go away? Thanks :)

Hiya yeah I did get the head zaps. Are you going on anything else or stopping completely? the dizziness vertigo feeling was horrible and I was coming off the highest dose that I'd been on for ten years. I was swapping to sertraline so I was able to go onto them after I'd tapered to about 20mg. The vertigo was horrible because it's one of my panic attacks symptoms
