I forgot to refill my Celexa yesterday and today is Thanksgiving so I couldn't get my meds filled. I haven't taken my 40 mg Celexa in two days. My head is just starting to ache. Could this be withdrawals?
My head just feels weird in general. I hope I will be OK.

You'll be fine. Just take your regular dosage tomorrow.

Thanks Maxime. I had a fitful night's sleep last night. I don't know if it had anything to do with not taking Celexa for 2 days.
I took the Celexa this morning. I usually take it at night. I skipped the Prozac this morning because I plan on taking the Celexa again tonight and I don't want to take too much SSRI. I figure the Prozac is OK to skip for a day because of it's long half life.
What is the half-life of Celexa anyways? Is it around 2 days?

OK, I just found out the half-life of Celexa is 1.5 days. Wow, I guess I really was experiencing withdrawal.
I am not very attuned to side effects, but I noticed this time.

Just home sounded like withdrawal to me. Good you got your dose in. Phillipa
