I found this online:
"Fatigue: You may feel excessively fatigued for awhile after you quit Celexa. It may be difficult to get out of bed in the morning or even make it through a work day. The tiredness and lethargy may be pretty severe. Just recognize that this will gradually improve and your energy levels will start to return over time."Would it be possible for you to go to bed earlier? Maybe you could take both doses of klonopin at night for a while or add something like trazadone or ambien. If you allow for extra hours of sleep do you think you could wake up when you need to?
Maybe your pdoc could prescribe a small dose of a simulant to take just until your Celexa withdrawals subside. I take Ritalin and it works for my sometimes severe fatigue.
Good luck,
Jade
