HELP - Citalopram withdrawal causing relationship breakdown - HELP
Posted , 5 users are following.
My girlfriend and I met 5 months ago and everything clicked so quickly. We found so much in common with dates and loved each other company. So much so that we even felt comfortable enough to book an big holiday together after just 4 months. We hadn't even argued or found anything about each other annoying despite spending loads of time together.
She then explained to me how she had had anxiety due to work since and had been prescribed citalopram, taking it daily for 6 years since. She had also been through a terrible previous relationship recently. But now she felt so happy for the first time in ages with me that she wanted to come off the tablets.
Since she has come off them she is often not herself at all. It's been a month or two, probably a month fully off them, and she has anxiety all the time. She has major doubts about our relationship every few weeks, then everything is fine again, except she is miserable about her life in general and very anxious.
I want to stick by her as I feel she will come out of he other side of this but don't know who to ask.
How long will this last?
What can I do to help?
Will it work out, has anyone had a similar experience with a partner?
I feel helpless and really want everything back to normal asap. I've tried all natural rememd

She has now been prescribed to get back on medication for a bit, but a different one - Sertraline
I hate the idea of this and suggested trying more natural remedies first, but she is going through phases that she feels really depressed so it might be that she came off them too quickly.
Anyone have any experience with these tablets?
