I think I am lucky to have found out about the withdrawal so early into my treatment. Hopefully I won't have too much difficulty getting off of the medication.First question I have is why you were put on Celexa? Second is, Is Celexa workin for those symptons?
I was put on Celexa <the third med I was on trial with> but had raging cryin jags...after about 3-4 weeks I stopped it cold turkey. I didn't have any withdrawal at all. BUT, I may be one of the very few this has happened to, so I warn you not to do this. Taper off the med slowly. If needed get a pill cutter, so you can cut the pills down in quarters. That way you can slowly cut back, and hopefully *NOT* have any withdrawal. And be sure to talk with your doc about tapering off.
Blessings,
