What Are The Side Effects Of Discontinuing Tab Citalopram?

I have been taking 20mg in the evening for several months. I am taking myself off the med and have taken half a table every other night for a couple weeks and the other nights a full tablet. the last week of so I have only taken half a tablet each night and last night I started a half tablet every other night and plan to do that for another week and then stop. I have noticed a recent spike in my blood pressure. Could that be caused by discontinuing citalopram

Hello,

No, it does not cause any significant hemodynamic variations. It might be a reaction to your anxiety. Be physically active and do relaxation techniques and meditation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
