Triggering (OD) - Coming off meds...
Ugh. Not sure where this post should go actually, but I didnt know if it would be too triggering for general...anyway.
Things are going terribly. I decided for matters of personal finance, to come off of citalopram (celexa). I was taking 40mg and my doctor said I should cut down to 20 for a week, then nothing. I have the side effects...anxiety, whooshing in the ears, fast heartbeat, vertigo. Whatever. I have the rest of them sitting in my lap and I just want to take them and be done with it. They won't kill me though. Not enough. But they might f**k me up, eh.
What's the point. total waste of money that could have been well spent on impulse buys.

Stop.
Med withdrawal can be hell.
But overdosing won't help.

No experience with this, so no advice.

My husband is my best friend.
In forgiving others, we are not exonerating them. They may not deserve exoneration. Rather, in forgiving others we are giving up our anger over the fact that what happened is not what "should" have happened or that our life is not the way it "should" have been.

And hell it is. Thanks for the support. This really sucks but I gave all my meds to my friends to hold so that I won't do anything stupid.

When i was coming off a similar drug i found that taking the antihistamine benadryl helped with the withdrawal symptoms a bit. To be honest you just have to persevere and get through it, awful though it is.
Good luck xx

i came off of citalopram recently, and i can sympathise with you and all the side effects your having they are truly hellish. just keep going, they do go away, i promise.
hope you are feeling a bit better, and well done on handing the rest of them to a friend.

So glad to hear I'm not the only one! I'll try the benadryl thing and see if it works for me. Man, the last time I felt like this I was getting off of much harder drugs...!
