Andy,
This same thing happened to me with Lexapro, which is the active ingredient in citalopram. I've gone on and off drugs many times and a few of the times I ended up being profoundly worse within a few weeks of re-starting the medication. My advice (for what its worth) would be to go off the citalopram and try a tricyclic like amitriptyline or imipramine. They do have some minor side effects, but have been used for over 50 years and proven very safe and effective. By the way 10 mg is a very small dose of Citalopram, and probable wouldn't be a true therapuetic dose.
