I've been on Celexa for more years than I can count, and each time I try to come off, I go through this nasty period of anger which eventually goes away.
Thanks to Lamictal, Klonopin, and the occasional guest appearance by various AAP's, I've been able to stay around 15-20 mgs of celexa (which lowers my SE profile and hypomanic tendencies), but I wrestle with more irritability and now headaches then I have either off it altogether or at a higher dose.
Sound familiar to anyone?

The fact that it seems the SSRI's are the hardest meds to come off of. Phillipa

Even though I'm not actually coming off the celexa, just trying to maintain at 15-20 mgs?

Why is it ot a option to go to a higher dose? The lower seems to have you stuck at the initial dosing stage

At higher doses Celexa tends to make me racy and a little manic. Numbs me out emotionally, kills my sex drive, makes it hard to get out of bed in the morning.

You need to go up in dose on celexa.
