Please have a look at the questionnaire page if you have a spare minute.
I was given this for acute anxiety 20mg x 2 daily Didn’t find it helped at all so gradually reduced dose over a few weeks I also took Kalms CBD gummies and Rescue Remedy Maybe have a chat with your GP first, you can always up your dose if you think you need to but think a slow steady pace is best
I've never taken this drug, but just to let you know you can get it prescribed in liquid form if you want to taper slower. Thos is what I am going to do with my citalopram.

Thos is what I am going to do with my citalopram.Hi penguinI was thinking about asking for it in liquid form but ( im terrible for overthinking) but i wondered if moving from pill to liquid form would change how quickly absorption was or if the concentration would be altered in any way?It would be easier in liquid form though.How is the tapering off the citalopram going? How long have you been tapering? xx thank you
Hi penguinI would be interested to learn what taper plan he gives you.How long have you been on the citalopram?Best of luck with it all.maybe we could share our journey and encourage each other.

Feel like I am taking a sugar pill for all the good its doing me, my anxiety is the worst it has even been.Yes I'd like that, DM me. And happy to share the taper plan. I'm seeing him on 23rd, so week after next.
I was on this for about a year. All it did was make me groggy in the morning. I slowly tapered by cutting in half and also by stretching the times between doses so reduced over 4 days then 3 then 2 etc. I can't remember precisely but just tried to do it really slowly and it was quite effective. I did have some days when I felt nauseous / dizzy but wasn't sure if it was related or not. Probably took about 3/4 months to wean off completely from 10mg dose.
Hey DiscogirlCompletely ignore my post🤣🤦♀️This is what happens when your atrophy is so bad it scrambles your brain It was Propranalol I was given this time round for my anxiety not AmitryptlineAlthough I did have it some years ago for about 6 months made me feels awful so gradually reduced the dose over a month and then did a bit of cold turkey for a week Wouldn’t take it again Sorry to have mislead you Can only blame the atrophy and long Covid and the menopause and anxiety etc etc etc[/quothi kathryn22dont worry at all. your information was still helpful.it was very kind of you to reply x

Thos is what I am going to do with my citalopram.My understanding is that you can only obtain any liquid form having seen a psychiatrist/consultant but would like to think otherwise ? I weaned off low dose amitriptyline for pain very gradually years ago but had not been using it for as long as 2 years. Bought a pill cutter which helped.
