Lex seems to work for me but I have one nagging SE. I'm not sure if it's the Lex or if something else is wrong. The best way for me to determine this is to quit the lex for a while. (I don't want to tell my pdoc about this experiment.)
For those of you who know how to safely withdraw from a drug, please let me know if the following looks OK.
Day 1 - 20
Day 2 - 15
Day 3 - 10
Day 4 - 5Also, how long will the lex stay in my system after the last dose?

what's the side effect?
Plus, if you want to determine what is a side effect and what is not, you may want to just stop it fairly abrubty for a weekend or something.
Ie, If I skip a dose of celexa, then I can usually have a breif freedom from sexual side effects the next day without terrible withdrawl.
Of course it depends on many factors.Linkadge

One of the SEs of lex can be frequency of urination. I'm really tired of getting up 4-5 times a night just to go to the bathroom. I've tried antibiotics thinking it was a UTI but nothing has worked. Something leads me to believe it's the lex...

I had the same problem and I've tried Lex two seperate times, once at 10mg and once at 5mg. Both times on Lex I had frequent urination and both times I quit Lex, no more frequent urination.
