I have been taking citalopram for 10 years and I am tapering off them whilst doing accupuncture and chinese (bad tasting) medicine teas. I want to get pregnant and avoid the nasty side effects of citalopram. The withdrawls are quite bad but I am hanging in there . My mind is very unsettled however I am coping to work and interact with people. I feel tired alot too. The accupuncture and herbal teas are helping. Just wondered if anyone is having a similar experience in their life? and how they are finding the alternative medicine in fighting depression and anxiety. Thanks
