Hi,
I recently tapered off Celexa and Klonopin. (By recent I mean really recent, I'm on day 2 of zero meds.) Prior to this I was taking 40 mgs of Celexa and .5 mg of Klonopin in the morning and another .5 mg of Klonopin in the evening. I tapered off the medication slowly but I definitely feel numb. My perception of things has shifted a bit because my body is adjusting to the lack of meds. Before you make any life altering decisions I would suggest waiting a few weeks to see how you feel. Your gf may or may not be the right person, but before you decide that it's probably best to let yourself get used to the lower dose of meds.
Best of luck!

I am mortified as she has come to visit me and just a few weeks ago I was fired up and attracted to her and ready for her visit and now for about a week I feel like perhaps she is not the right one as I can't get turned on or anything and I am mentally numb. I was wondering if anyone else has had this similar experience during withdrawals? I have partially come to a conclusion that perhaps she isn't for me however I don't really find any other women attractive right now and am wondering if it is just the withdrawals that are tricking me into being disinterested and detached? Has anyone sort of fallen out of love with someone going through withdrawals and then once it is over and you have recovered you realized it wasn't the girlfriend/boyfriend but the withdrawals that were changing your perception? Many thanks for your thoughts, I would really appreciate any experiences as I don't know what to do,
