do i tell my doc i keep starting and stopping???

he doesnt believe in prozac withdrawal. tough he noticed when i stopped taking the celexa my grandparents told him i was irritable. so i took another dose.

i am soo out of control.

it was about 2 weeks ago i took it for about 4 days then stopped 3 days then took 1 dose. nothing today.

i took a benadryl tonight- incredible headache dry mouth etc. tingling- feel zaps etc. though it could be celexa withdrwal.

HELP! should i just tell my doc? should i take the bloody celexa??
even though standing heart rate 130??
the lighheadedness and fatigue could be anything food intolerances, candida. anything. so i never told him about the lightheadedness etc.

i cant believe i got myself into this mess!

Hello

Celexa withdrawal is no fun at all. But what precisely is your dosing schedule and how long and at what doses have you been taking celexa?

Its not a good idea to keep stoping and starting any SSRIs. Why are you doing this, and does your doc know? Perhaps it would be a good idea if you rang him and explained everything? You sound a touch agitated and could do with some help and from your doc....

Kind regards

Meri
