I’ve been taking citalopram for a couple years now and i decided a few months back that i’d go from two pills daily to one pill daily, in an effort to eventually quit. When i did that i woke up a few nights later puking on my bathroom floor. Anyone who’s dealt with SSRIs knows my pain, today i just went down to half a pill a day and i’m concerned about having strong depression and anxiety the next few days/weeks. It’s a shame that the drugs meant to help can also make things worse.

Could be too drastic of a reduction...have the doctor who prescribed these help you. There has to be a way, and when the time is right.
those were actually his instructions he told me to half the dosage ever couple weeks but i’ve been taking months between lowering dosages out of fear lol
Many docs don't know anything about AD withdrawal. There's s really useful website called survivingantidepressants.org which provides advice (not by medical people!).
Hello. Tell your Doctor what you are going through! Maybe you are backing off too fast call you doctor!
