A member asked:

Can you offer some advice for coming off of citalopram?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. James Fox answered

See a psychiatrist: Coming off the medicine yourself? Seeing a doctor? Replacing the medication with another? I suggest seeing a psychiatrist you trust to fully answer your question. If you can't find one you trust, keep looking.
