I'll be 8 mnths off next week. The physical symptoms have not phased me. Its the psychological symptoms that have driven me crazy. I've been having better windows lately but the depression/dp/dr still linger, sometimes full force.

I am 10 months off citalopram and still experience physical symptoms like burning up, sweating etc. It's completely normal at this stage from what i can tell from reading about other peoples recovery.

I'm with you Imac!!! I haven't really had to bad of the physical symptoms and the ones I do have have been easy to hand in comparison to the mental. Not down playing people physical problems but just how it has been for me.
