With many medications you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. I wouldn't blame anybody for wanted to get off a psychiatric medication.
One thing I would say though is that, if you're taking 20mg of citalopram consistently, I would *not* go off cold turkey. Reduce it to 10mg then maybe 5. I have had some bad psychotic breaks from abrupt SSRI discontinuation. You may find 10mg is more tollerable too.
