Citalopram reducing 30 - 20mg

I’ve been taking 30mg of citalopram for 5 years. (chronic depression and severe anxiety since early teens) eventually had a complete breakdown. Citalopram had changed my life. Fast forward to now, I have developed crippling tiredness, sweats and body aches that my GP can’t find a cause for, bloods were clear. I have been asked by another GP to try cutting my citalopram down to 20mg incase it’s causing side effects.

I was told to drop the 10mg but knowing how sensitive I am to medication I have started dropping by 5mg. Few days in now and I feel extremely spaced out and lightheaded today and have shooting pains in my head. Can anyone who has reduced share their journey so I know what to expect and how soon to drop the other 5mg

TIA
