In reply to SSRI Causing Sleep paralysis?, posted by Red_Rach on March 1, 2006, at 20:30:38
Hi
Sleep paralysis and vivid dreams are withdrawal symptoms. Fluoxetine (Prozac) has a long half life, the withdrawal symptoms can take a couple of weeks to 'kick in'. Increasing your citalopram dose should help. Do I rememeber that you were taking a high dose of fluoxetine? 40mg citalopram (Cipramil, Celexa) is not enough to substitute for a high dose of fluoxetine.
Btw, I take 80mg citalopram myself.
Kind regards
Ed
