> I am currently going thru withdrawals for celexa 40mg. I have been on this dose for about a year now. Unfortunatly I am required to go cold turkey because i cannot afford these pills and the symptoms are pure hell. I am sure that if you decrese slowly in the smallest incraments over a resonable period of time, you should be able to have no problems. Just be glad that you are not on Effexor, I was taking
> 37.5mg for 2 months and was switched to celexa without any weaning or other precautionary measures. The side effects caused me to be rehospitalized.
>for both of you folks, when you go off Celexa completely, take a few (three) days worth of Prozac...it cuts the symptoms almost immediately...worked for me (and with Effexor too...)
