hi, ive been on citalopram for a year now... i fell pregnant in december and decided with doctor to start weaning... they said to go from 20mg to 10mg for a month, had some side effects, not too harsh. so they said to take 10mg every other day for another month, i didnt make it two weeks like this, awlful withdrawal so have started 10mg every day again and feel more stable.

can anyone give me some advice on pregnancy and citalopram please? i feel it was too quick of a taper?! obviously worried about baby but also worried that my anxiety will be awlful if i try and stop again 😦 thankyou

ps- im 4 months pregnant
