Withdrawing from Citalopram - anyone had problems sleeping?

[PeterParkerSays]

I'm about 5 weeks into a gradual withdrawal from Citalopram. I'm only on 10mg now so I didn't expect it to have a big impact, but I'm having real problems staying asleep at night - 2 hour bursts of sleep only - has anyone else had this?

I did my own withdrawal from Citalopram. I was on 20mg tabs. I reduced to 1 tablet every 2 days for a couple of months, then 1 tablet every 3 days. It took about 4 months. No idea if it was right, but it worked a lot better than when I stopped before (also gradually but not as gradually, probably did it in a month). I can say my libido is much higher now. I think it depends on how much you started on, but maybe you need to take it a bit more slowly.
