my experiences with citalopram

[fudge220]

Hey all im new to the forum . About a year ago i was put onto citalopram 20mg to treat my depression and it helped me alot apart from now when im coming off it. for some reason i thought it would be a good idea to just stop them dead but it wasnt i have intense withdraw symptoms from it that include sort of brain zaps, hot flushes, nausea, pins and needles, and floaty feelings. has anyone else here come off these pills and found this? if so how long did it take for it to sort it self out? thanks

I have been on citalopram in the past, I don't recall having any withdrawal symptoms, but they do recommend that you don't stop anti d's dead anyway. I recon you should start taking them again and taper off slowly under your docs advice
