So, i have bad anxiety and OCD. I went to my regular doctor and she prescribed me citalopram. It completely destroyed me. I was having nonstop panick attacks, feeling light headed, as well as extreme suicidal thoughts. I feared for my life. I stopped it cold turkey after just a week and a half of taking it. ( 5mg)

Although i feel much better. I am experiencing something new. Depersonalization describes EXACTLY what im feeling. I feel like i have no control of myself. I feel like i cant tell the difference between reality and whats not. im completely detached from everything. It has me scared. Is this something that will go away or will i live with forever? TIA
