In reply to Withdrawal from Celexa, This is CRAZY, posted by Cassie on May 16, 2001, at 12:36:13
I found that Celexa withdrawal syndromes are rare in the literature. There were only two case reports of it documented (as of October 2000):
1) Fernando, Antonio T. III MD. Schwader, Patrick. A Case of Citalopram Withdrawal. Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology. 20(5):581-582, October 2000.
2) Benazzi F. Citalopram withdrawal symptoms. Eur Psychiatry 1998;13:219-20.Besides, the two case reports above describe the main symptom of Celexa withdrawal (assuming this is a consistent recurring phenomenon) as dizziness--mostly light-headedness, which came on very suddenly but lasted only a few hours. The patients had no further symptoms in the next few days.
