Anger, brain zaps and general sadness du4ing withdrawal.
I'm 54 male, been on for 10 years or so and it really helped with anxiety. However I'm now in a Stable, loving relationship with my best friend. However, I'm really noticing. That I'm having really bad sexual side effects, whether it's a lack of libido or unable to keep an erection. So I have been working on. Lowering my dose, I was down to 5 milligrams, so I did 2 1/2 milligrams for about 3 to four months and now I've cut it off completely. I'm now on day 9 and I have noticed. Some of the sexual side effects going away, but holy cow am I irritable. The brain zaps are awful. Mostly the irritability though. I was just driving and I'm not an angry guy at all. But I was having major anger issues while driving where I just wanted to kill someone. Not literally, of course, but angry yelling while I'm driving. I do not want to go back on citalopram. But holy cow, I can't live like this.
So I'm sitting in a parking lot right now, calming down. I'm using voice to text so if this is rambling that's why because it's just the flow of my speech. But I am looking for some advice, I do not want to go back on it. But man I need to get through this. Anybody have any advice?
