Did you quit medications with the doctor's
permission. I tried to quit a few
medications like that and has very similar
experiences. I called the psychiatrist who
told me that I needed to taper off because
the meds I was on were known to cause
seizures in certain individuals if stopped
quickly.
Good luck.

no i didnt ask my doctor because she kept
saying i needed celexa... but everyday it
took everything i had not to just kill
myself.... i was so damn depressed i was
on celexa for 2 weeks, and on the last day
of the 2nd wk i took half, and havent had
anything now for 5 days.

don't you just love it when doctor's
listen to us!! How frustrating. I would
have done the same thing. It's interesting
how the same medication can have such
different effects on different people. My
husband took the lowest dose of celexa for
a few months and it made him manic. It
does nothing for me. You sound like you
tappered down quite well.
Are you going to search for a different
doctor? It is such a hassle, I know.
Trying to find one, waiting for an appt.,
etc. Good luck. I hope someone else here
can provide some comments on what they
think is going on.
