Hi girls!

I was wondering if anyone has had citalopram withdrawal symptoms in the past or currently?

I'm on a tablet every other day and I'm soooooo tired and I get cluster headaches and brain buzzes all the time, it's getting easier gradually but 10 days on I'm feeling pants and felt better taking them everyday, I don't want to stop coming off them but I feel awful

Message: When I was coming off sertraline I found it better to cut them in half rather than take them every other day as I'd get mood swings otherwise.  (((hugs))) hope you feel better soon.

I had horrible withdrawal symptoms when I came off of Citalopram. I had headaches, insomnia, aches, palpitations and very bad restless legs.

It will pass tho, so if you feel ready to come off them then I would say just stick with it.

Yes I found it the worst out of everything. I have never experienced before and don't want to again. But, I promise you it will pass.
