Fuzzy head insn't the word is upsetting my vision and balanace feel drained and zapped of energy so eating like a horse, had headaches whilst on reduced dose for 2 weeks which has now gone but left me with dazed and fuzzy head ......but looks like this is normal response and will pass.

Took Lexapro for about a year and a half, and then they switched me to Citalopram due to insurance matters. Counseling for the past year or so, but no amount of counseling can stop the withdrawal symptoms: hazy/fuzzy, dizziness, minor panic attacks, and general anxiety. Waiting for the the withdrawals to end, only been about 5 days off. COming off Citalopram. Took Lexapro for about a year and a half, and then they switched me to Citalopram due to insurance matters.

If you do it as you say the withdrawals will pass soon! Hang in there and report back as to how you go!

I came off Citalopram about 10 days ago after having been taking them for about6 years. Mood wise things have been good. I have addressed the original root of the problem and had positive help via hypnosis. The only side effects I am experiencing is what I can only describe as a sudden "fizzy" feeling in the head and lips which comes and goes. This feels odd but is manageable. I am curious to know if this is something that you have experienced? I just read your blog. I came off Citalopram about 10 days ago after having been taking them for about6 years.
