Hello :-)

As with so many when they start on these meds they get side effects , then they adjust to them and feel fine but the same can happen again when you start to come of them

Make sure your Doctor has advised you the best way to reduce taking them and hopefully this will pass soon :-)

Take Care x

I had this for a short time after my son died as a result of NHS negligent mental health care (Birmingham, UK). Added to that was continual stress and harm created by the combined NHS and Ombudsman corrupt process. I could not sleep without something to take it all away at night and this helped. I read that it was addictive to some degree and had to resort to other means and self medication. I did not experience much at all during those days afterwards and removed my dosage gradually onto paracetamol helped by alcohol sometimes. I've been on Citalopram (for my mind) for about 3 years every day - thank you very much to corrupt PHSO Ombudsmen.
