Taking Ciprolex 10mg For Sleeping Problems & Nightmares

Was taking 10mg ciprolex since June 2013. Discontinued 10 days ago because the previous week had sleeping problems and nightmares. Consulted with Dr . and he gave the okay to stop,. Since stopping the medication have had no sleeping problems. What else can I look forward to and how long before the very slight withdrawal symptoms are gone?

Hello

Its good that you are now off medications.

Look for the anxiety symptoms or the sleep issues. If they re-appear in future, consult your doctor again at the earliest.

Cipralex usually doesnot cause long term withdrawals and is usually safe in this regard.

You need not worry much. Enjoy your drug free life :).

Thanks
