Hey Rangers. What kind of side effects are u experiencing? I've been off Cit for 3 weeks today and wow. This Stuff is nasty. Feel horrible!!! Just seems my brain is going wild!!!!!!! Been doin some reading and apparently this can go on for a few weeks or a few months. Zthe only saving grace I have is I exercise daily which is helping a bit!!!!!!

This drug is something that the doctors have to study more. Especially with the side effects and all. Absolutely horrible both while youre being introduced to and getting off Cit!!!! Will never ever take these again. I'm prepared to go at it until the side effects go away. I also took Effexor prior to Cit and I wasnt educated on AD's at all. I now know enuff to know what is helping and what isnt. Fortunatly my Doctor is not a pill pusher and she is educated on what she does prescribed. Stick to it Rangers. It will get better!!!!!

Sleeping better though!!!!!!

Hi your dose was very small and if you are still having side effects that's strange.

Was saying--- pretty crappy. Dizziness, headache, not sleeping properly and dry mouth. I know these are withdrawal symptoms. Some days I feel better than others. But generally I feel the pits. I exercise daily which is supposed to help. I just hope these withdrawal symptoms dont last too much longer!!!!!!!'n
