Has anyone heard of a prescription called citalopram?

The name brand is celexa, it treats depression. I have been on it for 8 years and I am not able to get off if it. When I wasn't able to get any for 2 months, my anxiety became worst and I had severe panic attacks and I had to go back on it but I still suffer from panic attacks but not as bad. I am always so scared and overthinking. I get severe heat flashes and everything. I wish I never went on that drug, because it has been making my life hell. I used to get angry when I forget to take it but now I get severe panic attacks that I beg to go to the hospital because I feel like I'm dying! It truly hurts so much. I wish life would get easier

Yes, you sound like you qualify for medically assisted detox. Talk to your primary care doctor or psychiatrist. Even though it is not physically addictive, the withdrawal symptoms coupled with psychological addictive aspects means you need more professional support.
