Hi,

I stopped taking Citalopram randomly a while ago. At first I had dizziness and when I turned my head my eyes seemed to move in stages. Anyway, my symptoms gradually got worse. I rid it out for ages. I started to feel ok then I went with an almighty bang back to full-on anxiety. I have been back on them bow again for a month. Symptoms are slowly subsiding. 20MG is a pretty low dose and it is ok. I was on 40MG at the time and I just stopped taking them. I an now on 20MG and it is slowly building back up.

So does this mean we have to stay on this forever or else we will experience anxiety again. Don't u think its the worst thing to have started with it in the first place

It all depends. This woman I know has been on them for like 15 years. I have been on them a few years besides the 5 month gap.

Well. I would not like the symptoms of full on GAD to with me for life either. Better popping a little pill than having full on Anxiety isn't it?

Yes true. I was thinking of taking rescue remedy wen u feel anxious u take 2 under your tongue I hear it also good I want to leave citalopram I read a lot about it and people say it just makes u worst. But I'm scared I don't know what to do
