Stopping citalopram after 1 week

Posted , 12 users are following.

I decided to quit Citalopram 10mg after a week since the side effects are nasty and it worsens my speech impediment. But I'm worried that I'll have bad withdrawal. Do I need to taper off or can I just quit cold turkey?

    I had taken 10mg for just 2 days when i passed out the 2nd morning and ended up in A&E.

    My GP told me to stop them immediately. For 5 days now I've been exhausted, tired, drained, headaches, dry mouth etc etc. Don't know how long it will to feel ok again.

    Horrible medication.
