Hi

on week 7 ill be week 8 on friday of 10mg Citalopram (ive been on this for 15 years, tried to come off it two months ago too fast and anxiety has been with me since)

start up anxiety was awful, panic has gone now and most evenings i feel back to myself, mornings can be wobbly.

when i go i to shops or places im still experiencing odd sensations dizzy detached etc, i expose myself to these places daily but still i get all odd in there.

appetite is back and the desire to cool nice meals comes in waves.

my question.... do i need a top up of the dose to help with these last niggly bits im still experiencing? dont feel like ive got happy me back yet either, feel somewhat flat at moments again this comes in waves.

any advice welcome from you that have/are living this nightmare x
