Coming off medication

[Georgiamiaf]

I'm currently coming off Citalopram and its not making me feel great but does anyone know how long is it before you can go onto a new medication and how long is it before I start feeling how I did before I started medication

Your doctor should tell you when to start any new meds .. After withdrawal from meds you will not feel too good I'm afraid for a while .. How long were you on it for ?

just under a year

It depends what you are changing to. Some such as most other saris you don't need an interval though.

Hey

When they moved me from citalpram to my other one they gave me instructions for coming off them as well as having the others

I took citalpram every other day then one every 2 days then stopped taking them all together

I hope this helps a little xx

This may be of interest to you. Scroll down to the bottom where there is a table on how to switch medication.
