Was currently on 10 mg Cipralex, for 1 year. Definitely a good drug to control anxiety, but WARNING! Coming off this drug is horrific. I was told by my doctor to cut down my medication to 5mg everyday for 2 weeks, followed by 5 mg every other day for 2 weeks, then finally, (currently what I am doing) 5 mg every 3 days for 2 weeks. During this time I have experienced the WORST shock you could imagine, almost constantly, slight headaches, and extreme fatigue to the point where I don't even want to get out of bed in the morning. I feel agitated and grumpy most of the time. Honestly, I feel like a drug addict waiting and wishing the 3rd day would arrive so I could get my "next fix." This is ridiculous. As soon as I take the pill, I feel calm and all of the symptoms I mentioned above disappear right away. I wish I looked into the with-drawl symptoms of this medication a little better before I started taking it, cause the way I feel now is very unpleasant! If anyone else feels like this please let me know, as it would be nice to know I am not alone in this cipralex nightmare!

How quickly will the side effects of citalopram take to go away?
Never stop Citalopram cold turkey! It is very important that you work closely with your doctor and withdraw from the antidepressant very slowly. The length of time it will take to get over the withdrawal depends on the dose and how long you have been on this medication. Withdrawal Symptoms: Citalopram hydrobromide (Celexa) and other selective serotonin re uptake inhibitors (SSRI for short) are known to cause withdrawal symptoms in people who quickly stop their medicine.Certain Citalopram withdrawal symptoms can include, but are not limited to:* Irritability * Agitation * Dizziness * Burning or tingling sensation * Anxiety * Confusion * Headache * Insomnia * Tiredness. If your doctor is weaning you off slowly and you are still having some of the above symptoms your doctor may put you back on the medication and wean you off even slower. Again, it's important you work closely with your doctor. Many people can come off this medication without further treatment.
