Can coming off citalopram cause anxiety to worsen and make thoughts of bad ghings happening to family intensify im so down and afraid help?

Yes, this can happen: Some people have a hard time stopping citalopram and other ssris, with an increase in anxiety being a prominent symptom. It is best to wean down very slowly and under the care of your physician.

It's possible: The citalopram could have been helping and now as you come off it you may be feeling more overwhelmed and anxious- very possible. Anxiety is exhausting and very tiring, can make you more depressed, and afraid of help. Maybe go back up on it or ask to try something else?
