Hello Cecilia,
I can certainly relate to your experiences with Celexa and other ssri's. You don't need permission from anyone on this board to stop taking Celexa or anything else; however, I would like to suggest that you TAPER off of your medicines as slowly as possible in order to minimize the likelihood of rebound symptoms. I read somewhere that when tapering off of psychotropic medicines, it's best to lower the dose by not more than ten percent per week. Celexa is available in liquid form. If you buy a very finely graduated medicine dropper, it will be easier to lower the dose in minute increments each week.
Good luck to you!
Bekka
