Hi All,

Ive written a post earlier regarding withdrawing from citalopram and ive been doing it gradually for a year now. I adjusted from 20mg to 15 last august and i actually felt miles better. 20 was always too high for me and i felt quite numb but took it for 2 years anyway.

I have now dropped from 15mg to 10mg and have been for 11 weeks. I am struggling with intrusive thoughts mainly about the kids.... i also feel irritable.. do you think at 11 weeks this could be withdrawl?
