Could There Be Withdrawal Symptoms For Citalopram?

I am 77 and had huge stress for the past 5 years, so much that now I just live normally with it. It is due to Court cases with myself and daughter trying to get back funds from a negligent barrister and a lying police officer. We have another phone conference on Wed. I have been taking Citilopram 20mg for a year or so and have decided to stop so did not take one for the last 2 nights. At the moment I feel fine, can something still happen

Yes, there can be. Cetalopam should never be stopped abruptly and should be tapered sequentially as per symptomatology and under the supervision of a clinician. Please see your clinician.
