A member asked:

I have been off 40mg citalopram for 4 days and am wondering if i should weather the withdrawl vs getting back on. i had planned to wean off gradually.

That was a good plan: Why didn't you follow through? But here is some info that might help you decide to see a Dr for proper weaning. Getting off may be a great idea - doing it safely is even better! Have the protection that a Dr can offer for this process.
