Did you get the "brain zaps" too?

Yeh, that's proper weird that. Hard to describe other than as you say, a zap

Annoying...I get them a lot. When I tried coming off the Citalopram, it was like a disco in my brain.

A very good friend of mine took her life some four years past. She was kind, outgoing, and extremely smart; she had 2 children in middle school whom she adored; and none of us who knew her thought for a minute that she'd end up taking her life.

Thank you @SebastianBlue for posting this thread. If it helps but one person in need of help it's worthwhile; if it ends up saving a life, it's invaluable.

Low Iron caused the bleed?

Did you taper off them?

low iron is caused by bleeding sometimes , given i am actively bleeding in my poo i am more worried now

Yeah. Didn't go to the doctors beforehand or anything, just decided id had enough of them. Wasn't exactly accurate with my tapering though, was just biting bits off the pill and gradually taking smaller bites ha.
Only side effects have been the brain zaps and occasional weird mood, I can finally maintain a boner now though which negates any negative side effects in my opinion! Wish they would of mentioned that side effect when I first started!

Right...let's hope it's nothing serious, Kaz. I got my blood results today...everything fine except sugar levels a touch higher and low vit D (even though I take supplement vit D. Suppose there's nothing like getting out in the sun.I just don't feel up to most times as you know).
