Hi,
I have been on 40mg Citalopram for 16 months. My dd died in October and I started to have terrible trouble sleeping. I wake up screaming some nights, but every night is full of nightmares or night terrors, and I wake in the morning feeling dreadful.
On Thursday my GP switched me to 15mg Mirtazapine. I had 20mg Citalopram on Thursday, nothing on Friday, then started on 15mg of Mirtazipine on Saturday.
I know I am in the low depths of weaning myself off Citalopram, but I feel dreadful. I feel like I am standing on a boat, the floor feels like it is swaying beneath me. My vision is wobbly and my head feels full of water. It hurts to have my eyes open, but I feel sick when I close my eyes. I'm already feeling low with the grief, but I am beginning to feel panicky, like I want to go to sleep and never wake up.
I feel dreadful and just want to sleep or run far, far away.
Any advice?
