Cycling or "poop-out" takes a long time to evaluate. You are right about being on higher mg's to be affected...I have heard that. So if you are on 80+mg of Celexa (after titrating up from 20-40-60 over time) then you might get poop-out eventually...but not necessarily. If you have been on the same mg of something for a long time (low or high mg) then cycling should be less likely to occur. It is not an exact science, so nobody is sure on how or why it happens. Some people have taken prozac for 15 years, no probs...others needed to titrate up 10mg every few years or so, and now take 100+mg of prozac...anyway, you see the picture...hope this helps.
