How to stop citalopram 10mg gradually to minimize withdrawal effects?

Hello Ma'am,What exactly was the reason you were prescribed this medication? Anxiety? Mood?This will affect my answer somewhat.

Thank you.If you consider yourself stable enough to stop the medication, and you don't feel any side effects right now related to taking the medication, it's best to taper off very gradually. First, make sure that at this time in your life, and for the next few months, you are not planning to have a stressful episode. Then, when this is done, the taper could be done by taking half a tablet for 2 to 4 weeks and then stopping completely.Of course, it is always best to inform your doctor and pharmacist of your desire to taper and stop your medication. They will also be able to tell you if there is a particularity in your file that makes the reduction more or less rapid.Good day,Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
