  3. Cutting Citalopram in half. Full 20 mg?

Cutting Citalopram in half
I have been on Citalopram 20 mg for a few days for my anxiety and I feel absolutely awful. I am sensitive to medicine so I have every side effect (extreme nausea, diarrhea, headache, sweating, rapid heart rate, heightened anxiety, and a weird tingly feeling all through out my body). I was just wondering if I could cut the pill in half and only take half for a couple weeks, making it 10 mg and then ease into the full 20 mg?
