In reply to Celexa Withdrawl?, posted by Gil on May 10, 2000, at 9:44:36
It is easier on the system to come off of Celexa or any drug for that matter, slowly. With AD's, it usually takes a few weeks, sometimes even more to taper off the meds. What you are experiencing is discontinueation or withdrawal symptoms because you came off the Celexa abrubtly. To elimate the side effects you are going threw, try taking 10mg for the next week. On the eighth day do not take the Celexa. If you notice, then take the Celexa again for another week. If you come off of the Celexa this way your body will thank you. When I decided to come off of Effexor I had a hell of a time. I tried this method and eventually I was able to come off of the Effexor pretty much symptom free of withdrawals. Good luck!
