Reduced my tablets why am I so ill?

[Gibbo1981]

Reduced my tablets on doctors orders. Feel so rubbish.

What tablets are you taking?

Could it be the fact that the tablets may have a good amount of iron in perhaps as lack of iron or low iron can make u feel quite tired & a bit sickly sometimes.

Hi Gibbo

Sorry you are struggling

With meds when you first go on them you can get side effects & feel awful till your body adjusts to them , but the same or similar can happen when you are weaning of them to & I would imagine this is why you are feeling as you do , your body will have to adjust to the smaller dose , not pleasant I know but if you can hang in there it will get better

If you are really struggling I would see my GP

If you don't feel you can wait till Monday because you cant cope with how you feel you could phone your doctors surgery , there should be an answering machine come on giving you a number that you can phone out of hours & you will get to speak to a nurse or doctor who could advise you further

Let us know how you get on

Love

Yes you will be for a few days, citralopram has some good withdrawal effects. They don't last too long but, can make you feel dreadful. Just look after yourself and don't push yourself just keep pottering around and make sure you drink lots and get lots of sleep. What have you dropped from to? I used to take these tablets and felt dreadful when I dropped from 10mg to nothing.

Take care x
