Hi Linkadge:
The movement disorders you are experiencing are very likely to be a result of the Celexa withdrawal. That back and forth sensation while you are perfectly still is something I have experienced when I have either weaned myself onto or off of ssris. It felt like some kind of inner ear problem and it seemed like I was lurching at times (like the floor was dropping out from underneath me, etc. ). Luckily it does go away but it took between 1-2 months for that to happen for me. Best advice: ride it out for a couple of weeks and if it's still there, ask your doc to check for other causes.
I should also say, somewhat sheepishly since I am an ex-smoker and loathe to recommend such a thing, but if you do smoke, having a cigarette does cut some of the woozy feelings...... Don't know the biochemical explanation for that, however!
