Citalopram withdrawal after five months?
Posted , 8 users are following.
Advice needed!!
I was on citalopram for six weeks but had a really horrendous experience. I had every side effects that you could possibly have but 10x worse! So I tapered off them over a week. I then must of had every single withdrawal effect you could have also!!!
I'm now just five months from when I took my last pill. I'm still getting the dizzyness (lightheaded) and tinnitus. The depressive days comes in waves. My anxiety still continues. I never suffered with anxiety until I started taking diet pills (super keytone plus), myself and my doctor didn't realise it was to do with these tablets though.
Now I'm at the stage with OCD intrusive thoughts - this is also something I be never had!!!
I've read somewhere that somebody didn't feel better for six months after stopping. I'm looking for advise really coz the doctor has given me flueoxetine coz I mentioned the word OCD! but after the citalopram- I don't know 😔
Anything would be appreciated x

I do have to say that I was never this bad before touching the diet pills, diazepam and citalopram.
It baffles me to how I could possibly still withdrawing from citalopram when I was only them for six weeks (8weeks counting the tapering off time). And there's people who been on them for months and only withdrawn for a few weeks!!
I'm still experiencing anxiety, heartburn, hair loss, tinnitus, lightheaded, weight loss xx
