Dear Craig,I apologize. I misunderstood your post. I didn't realize that Celexa had produced the type of improvements you were looking for.
SSRIs (like Celexa) are often combined with Serzone. Perhaps you will receive maximum benefit from taking both together.
Two things might be going on:
1. You are experiencing a return of depression and IBS due to the dosage reduction of Serzone. Both tremors and IBS can be associated with depressive illness. Serzone may be treating aspects of your illness(s) that Celexa does not.
2. You are experiencing some sort of withdrawal symptoms from reducing the Serzone that are not associated with a relapse into depression. I am not very familiar with the nature and frequency with which this happens. Check out this thread:

I think that if I were in your position, I would return to the dosage of Serzone that provided you with relief from the tremors and IBS while continue taking Celexa. It just seems like common sense to me. It is difficult at this time to know whether you would need to take more than 30mg of Celexa when it is combined the Serzone. You should discuss this with your doctor.Good luck.
