Celexa is even worse to come off of than Effexor- it's called SSRI withdrawal syndrome and it's the dirty little secret of SSRI's. You just have to go cold turkey, and it will blow over in about five days. People can't get off Paxil either. You need to bitch at your shrink about this- those guys should be managing this kind of stuff better.
Look in the links section for Dr Ivans Depression Central site. He has a page on this.
Been there, done it, know how you feel. Wish I had a better answer, but unfortuneatly that's how it is. Don't touch the Celexa.missliz
