Hello @19681989, I was just wondering how you and your son are getting on?Community Manager

Hello, thank you very much for the post. How are you.
I eventually got a call from the LDT doctor 20th April.
She suggested increases in medication or stopping.
I had already stopped it.
Because of the sleep reversal I asked for a short term prescription of sleeping tablets I was that desperate for him , still not got them! . So, we've had to just get by. It's been tough.
It was definetly the citalopram that caused it.
The sleep reversal has stopped so he's gradually getting back to a relatively normal sleep.

Hi @19681989. I'm glad to hear that he's returning to something approaching normal sleep at least. Have you had any guidance from your doctor about next steps after stopping the citalopram?Community Manager
