Citalopram withdrawal

1 reply

I've been on citalopram for several years and recently tapered off and eventually came off them around 3-4 weeks ago. I was only on 10mg. I was fine in the first weeks afterwards, but this past week has been hell; low mood, blinding headaches, irritability, difficulty sleeping and more.

Why should these symptoms suddenly start after I'd been ok to begin with? I was on such a miniscule dose when I finally stopped, I'd have thought the drug would have been well out of my system by now.

Has anyone had any experience with this, with citalopram or a similar AD?

I’m reading with interest. I’ve been on 20mg for a year. Coming off using 10mg a day. I’m very light headed on 10mg. Don’t know what to expect when I eventually stop.
