    Hi dizzy, You sound just lile myself, things were going fine, started weening myself off them and then.....BANG. Ive come to realise I NEED citalopram, ive tried doing without 3 times now, I cant. Ive been back on them for 19 days now and im still struggling, hopefully theyll kick in soon! All the best.

      No, I cant say I had the head sensations, but I did get a very bad churning stomach, what felt like a clamp on my heart, increased ringing in my ears and cold chills running thru my body, im pleased to say these physical symptoms have faded dramatically which of course im very pleased about!

      Hi sharisse, They havent completely gone yet but definitely dont hold as much umph as they did. They appeared after I stopped taking cit, theyve weakened since I started taking 20mg's again.
