I'm so glad you had a better day, Iggy!
I think I'm 8 hours behind you in the UK, and 9 hours behind the Continent. So, when I was writing to you yesterday it was about 8 am my time.
Now, what do you mean each drop of liquid is 2.5 mg? I'm confused.

Good to hear you had a better day, Iggy!
Keep walking. Just keep walking.
I am now on the citalopram liquid, it comes in a tiny bottle and the top of it releases 1 drop at a time, each drop is 2.5mg in strength, I couldnt get any smaller dose that 1 drop and that would be 2.5, the only other things I can think of doing to make a smaller drop from 2.5 would be to either mix it with milk and only drink half but that prob wouldnt be accurate would it? another choice would be to take 2.5 drop every other day but I have heard thats a bad idea too?
Put on citalopram July 2009 during a physical illness - didnt need it. 40mg
went down to 20mg July 2010 CT in Jan 2012 - 2.5 years on.
Tried to restart July 2012 due to 1 panic attack (never had one before - start of CT W/D) - adverse reaction
Down to 1.5mg from the failed RI
Now at 0.48 and trying to stabalize - been 6 weeks
now have SEVERE anxiety, akathsia, feel like Im on acid 24/7 depression, D/P, signed off work. Scared of everything..please God let me heal from this
Hunh, I’ve never heard of this! Are you absolutely sure there is no other liquid Citalopram available? You might Google; don’t just trust the doctor. Also, you might ask around about other Brits and whether they have found ways to dilute this liquid.
Lastly, you could conceivably take it to a compounding pharmacy and have them make a stable, diluted liquid from it. It would be nice for you to have other options besides 2.5 mg tapers, especially at the end.

i made my taper from citalopram 11 months after a cold turkey paxil
you have to have a syringe 1.0 ml
and you push only 2 graduations of the syringe, so you can have half drops
