Hello! This is my first post here and I was hoping to get some advice and maybe some reassurance.

I was on 20mg of citalopram for about a year. At first they seemed to work - they didn't get rid of the feelings of anxiety completely, but I was able to function fairly normally. Then, about four months ago, I started getting worse - like I was before I started taking them, so, rather than up the dose, I decided to come off of them completely and use relaxation exercises and other self-help methods.

I reduced from 20mg to 10mg for two weeks (with no side effects), then came off them completely.

For the first couple of weeks, I had the dizzy spells and the "zapping", but it wasn't that bad, and by the end of the second week, I was okay again.

Now I'm coming up to four weeks of being off of them. and for the last few days, I've been swinging from really angry to really tearful. Is this normal after nearly a month of being off my meds? I'm beginning to get a little worried...

Thanks!
