Cold turkey

[jaydensdaddy232]

Hi I came off citalopram 10mg cold turkey about 3 weeks ago and have had all the rough withdrawals but seem to keep getting panic attacks something I have never suffered with, can I try something natural like calms to help me as I don't and won't ever go back on citalopram firstly diagnosed for anger.

Thanks

I'm reducing my citalopram dose on 5mg from 20. I was on 20 and up to 30 at some points. I reduced from 20 to 10 too quickly and had a few panic attacks which I hadn't really suffered before. So I did 10 /20 on alternative days for weeks then 10 2 days and 20 one for a few weeks. At this point you might be better off trying to manage the symptoms of panic. A GP could maybe give you beta blockers or diazapam (or similar) I'd really recommend getting a GP appointment. Even reducing my dose slowly I've found it tough so I really sympathise.

Update: 4th day back on citalopram 10mg. Fell like shite still, yesterday my Doctor prescribed me Diazepam 2mg to get me through this whilst the citalopram kicks in. I have strong headaches at the back of my head and feeling Very sick. How much longer guys?
