I was on citalopram in and off for a long time…around 8 years or so. I came off it a year ok, felt crap, but said I’d give it a year to see if I could cope without it. I can’t and desperately need to go back on it but I am so busy at work that I don’t think I could cope with the side effects that come when starting on it. If I start on a low dose of 10mg would the side effects be less and then gradually increase the dose up to my old dose of 30mg? Anyone have experience of this?
