I am in my 4th week on this med now and don't like it at all. The worst side effect I'm having is the extreme tiredness. I feel like I've been hit by a mac truck!
I just called my doc and made an appointment for next week right after my first psyciatrist visit (who is the one who wanted me on this drug) and I am going to tell both the doc and the shrink I want off this med. Now after reading more about it, it scares the ,,,out of me that I've even been on it for the short time that I have!!
my question is: can I expect severe side effects when quitting?
I was on citalopram and was told to stop taking it, take nothing for a week and then start the new meds. At that time I had the brain zaps, I thought of them as sparklers being set off in my brain all the time, and the crying all the time. If this will be the same I can handle it.
