Hi, Maria! How are you?
Stopping an antidepressant is usually done very slowly, because on top of some withdrawal effects, stopping abruptly might also cause some rebound effects, which could result in very severe depressive symptoms.
Learn more Citalopram details here.
The most recent preferred method is to start skipping days of dosing, such as taking it one day, then skipping the next. You'd do that for a week or so, to allow your body to adjust to not taking it as often, then you'd start skipping two days and so on.
However, it may not be safe for you to use this method, so please check with your doctor, before proceeding.
Are there any other questions or concerns?
