What is the worst withdrawals you've experienced when stopping a medication?
I'm trying to come off citalopram (an anti-depressant) after taking it for a year or so. Last 6 weeks me and my doctor have got me on tapering off from 20mg a day, then 10mg, then 10mg every 2 days and so on. Then they said stop it completely. Now my brain feels like it's being crushed by a vice, my mouth always tastes like copper and I feel like complete crap.
Being fair this is not the worst time. The other was sertraline. The brain zaps and dizziness were awful. Getting through that was like a mini triumph in my life. Why are they so gd bad?
