> Why are you reducing it? A dose of 40 mg of Celexa is not considered to be excessive. Anytime that you reduce an AD it is common to have side effects such as you mentioned. Give it a couple of weeks. If you still have trouble sleeping and other bad effects, manbe you should consider going back up to 40 mg.
My doctor suggested that I reduce the Celexa because I am taking Ritalin more regularly now, and I am feeling somewhat agitated. He said Celexa can have that effect, so if the Ritalin was helping, I could decrease the Celexa. I don't think my insomnia is due to the Ritalin because when I started taking it regularly and had not reduced the Celexa yet, I did not have insomnia or the other symptoms.
