Hi there.
I've just begun to reduce my citalopram, alternating 10/20mg.
I don't think this is entirely related, but my mood has been noticeably changeable.
Yesterday and day before I was on top of the world, mostly. In fact I was very active, as the day before.
Today I am floored by minor altercation with partner.
This derailment is a long term pattern, but I thought that I had d3veloped resilience, but no.
When I'm tested the same reaction occurs. Snappy, nasty, teary, sorry for mysrlf.
I am going to come off meds, but the mood swings are getting me down.
When I'm doing something I like, fine, and can take on anything. Too happy?
Dunno.

Some medications the period to wean yourself from them can be longer than others. The weaning of the body is one thing. Mentally depending on a certain mood is something that can take much longer.
As far as relationship squabbles go, that is a 2 way street and I try not to get lured in by the taunts of my partner, but that is not easy to do.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
