What's the weaning process i need to take after being on celexa (citalopram) for 9!yrs 20 mg?

Taper over 2 weeks: Withdrawal from citalopram is usually mild. 9 years or 9 months doesn't really make any difference in withdrawal. Decrease dose in half for one week then take every other day for a week then stop.
