I am now on day 20 off coming off Citalopram (20mg). I tapered down over 3 months. I felt great on 5pm so I stopped 20 days ago.
I had quite bad withdrawal symptoms. Dizziness and tingling. which seems to be coming to an end.
But my anxiety is creeping back and I dont know whether this is discontinuation syndrome or what???...
I was hoping to hear some success stories where the anxiety did come back but you persevered and it finally got better.
I would like to add i was put on Citalopram for general anxiety disorder because i was suffering with crippling anxiety a year ago and had a mental breakdown. But I have worked really hard to get this under control and myself and my doctor felt it could be time to come off
