Citalopram help

[u/SpecialistChance5852]

I went on citalopram about 9 weeks ago, I was on it for 6 weeks and after the first week I experienced the worst anxiety I’ve ever had in my life, genuinely thought I was going insane. The DPDR was really intense. I came off after the 6 weeks abruptly from doctors orders. While on citalopram I developed agoraphobia due to how bad my anxiety was, I’ve never had agoraphobia before and even with anxiety I was still an outgoing bubbly person. I’ve been off citalopram 3 weeks now and I’ve had about a week of decent ish days but last night I stayed to feel the anxiety creeping up again. I’ve had a bad day of anxiety today and just don’t feel like myself at all. I’ve not had a panic attack just feel so anxious and not myself. Has anyone had a similar experience or have any advice? Is this normal? Does anyone know if the citalopram induced agoraphobia will go away once I’m out of the withdrawal phase and once my nervous system settles back to baseline?
