Been on citalopram for 5 years. It works well for me after a pretty bad breakdown in 2016.
I've recently stopped taking the mini pill (approx 4 weeks now).
The last couple of weeks have been horrendous. Constant sense of dread, crying, fatigue, anger. Depression is bad. Nothing gives me any pleasure or happiness. I don't see the point in anything. I want to just go to sleep forever.
I feel angry all the time. I have tension headaches. I'm being bitchy to my partner..I don't want sex, it frankly repulses me. I find things I once enjoyed are just pointless to me at the moment.
I'm going through the motions with my job.
I want to get out, go out for a drive but can't at the moment because our car is out of action. I try to take regular walks but suffer from bad headaches and fibromyalgia and its often hard.
Is this all due to stopping the pill? Before I came off it, I was brighter, calmer. Not so angry.
