citalopram cold turkey
Hi everyone.
before anyone says it I know it's not advised to go cold turkey and not something I wanted to do.
I've been on 40mg citalopram for around 5 months due to going through a really stressful period in my life. I'm now out of the other side and in a miles better place.
my plan was to start tapering when I collected next prescription. However even though I requested my repeat with 9 days notice, due to the bank holiday and my pharmacy not being the quickest I ran out 3 days ago. I did go to the pharmacy and pretty much beg them as I was going on holiday and they promised the night before I left they'd arrange for it to be left on a locker I could collect after they closed but this didn't happen and I'm now away for 2 weeks without anything so going cold turkey.
when I return I will have had 2 full weeks off them.
up to now I've just been irritable, what should I expect and has anyone gone cold turkey and suggest whether I push through after the 2 weeks or jump back on them to start a taper?
With me only being on them for around 5 months is it easier to go cold turkey?
