quitting citalopram success stories

Well, my quitting Citalopram story is quite positive. I tapered off slowly as advised. One important thing I did was keep myself busy with hobbies. I started painting which really helped me deal with any anxiety that might have come up during the process. Also, I made sure to get enough sleep. It wasn't easy, but within a couple of months, I no longer needed the medication and was feeling great.

I coped with the withdrawal symptoms by staying hydrated. I drank lots of water which seemed to ease some of the discomfort. Also, I took short walks when I felt a bit jittery. It distracted me from the symptoms.

There are cases where patients who had difficulty concentrating due to their depressive state were able to regain focus after taking Citalopram. It worked well for them in terms of not only improving their mental state but also allowing them to resume normal daily activities such as work or study. For example, a young professional was on the verge of losing his job because of his inability to perform tasks efficiently. After starting Citalopram, over time, he was able to meet deadlines and his work quality improved.

One success story is of a person who tapered off Citalopram slowly under their doctor's guidance. They started by reducing the dose very gradually, like cutting the pill into smaller pieces. They had some mild withdrawal symptoms like a bit of dizziness at first, but it passed quickly. They also focused on a healthy lifestyle during the process, with regular exercise and a balanced diet which they believe helped them get through it smoothly.

One success story is that of my friend. He was on Lexapro for a while. When he decided to quit, he worked closely with his doctor. They tapered the dosage gradually. He had some minor withdrawal symptoms like mild dizziness at first, but with proper diet, exercise and lots of rest, he overcame them. Now he feels great and more like his old self without the need for the medication.

One success story is that of my friend. She had been on citalopram 20 mg for her general anxiety disorder. Before, she was constantly worried about everything, from minor things like being late to major things like her health. After a couple of months on the medication, she became much more relaxed. She could focus better at work and her relationships improved as she was no longer so irritable due to her anxiety.

One key element is a proper tapering schedule. A slow and gradual reduction in the dose helps the body adjust more easily. For example, reducing the dose by a small percentage every week or two can make a big difference.

One of my friends was on the verge of losing his job due to his inability to concentrate because of depression. He started Celexa (Citalopram). In about a month, he could focus better at work, his productivity increased, and he was able to keep his job. His self - esteem also improved as he was able to perform well again.

A patient with anxiety disorder found great success with citalopram. Previously, they were constantly in a state of worry and had panic attacks frequently. With citalopram, the frequency of panic attacks decreased dramatically. They were able to go about their daily life, like going to work and running errands, without the overwhelming sense of anxiety. It really changed their life for the better.

A person had trouble sleeping and was always on edge because of anxiety. Citalopram calmed them down. They can now sleep through the night and face daily challenges without freaking out. It has made their life so much easier. It's like a new lease on life for them.
