In reply to Celexa Withdrawl?, posted by Gil on May 10, 2000, at 9:44:36
>After a week of basic mild to mid level suffering and nobody to talk to, I turned to the net. I have been taking SSRI's for a little over 2 years for panic attacks, recently I switched HMOs and they switched me to Celexa, probably about 4 or 5 months now. I have been wanting to stop the medication for a long time now, but have been afraid of the withdrawal symptoms. I was taking 20mg, then for several weeks was breaking the pills in half and taking only a half and then stopped a week ago. I was wondering if you could help me, or expand on your withdrawal symptoms? I feel very tired, daily headaches, wake up with nausea that comes and goes throughout the day, I feel dizzy almost, but not quite. I am very stressed out, because my husband doesn't understand, we just moved to a new town and I don't know anyone to discuss this with. I just kind of feel bad, but with no concrete symptoms to go to the doctor with. Did you have these symptoms? How long did it last? When can I expect to feel better?
I know you posted in may, but I hope you get this and respond.
Thanks
I've been taking Celexa for a little over 4 months - I've seen it work well for many people, but it had little or no effect on my depression.
