Hi I have been on Celexa for 1 year and 3 months. Everytime I would miss a pill or two I could feel it in my mood and behavior. It has helped me tremendously, although emotionally I've felt numb, and sex does almost nothing for me. Well, I happened to forget to take Celexa for a few days and have not had my usual side effects, so I decided to go a few more days. Then came the headaches and the nausea. Now I'm on day 7 and and the headaches have been gone for the last 2 days but the nausea is still here. It's no fun but it's managable. It reminds me of when I was pregnant, but at a much lower level. One thing that I've decided to do is to exercise. I figured that I had to get seratonin to my brain somehow, so I've commited myself to doing somekind of excersize so tht my brain doesn't suffer too badly. I've been very dizzy as well but none of those shocks that people have written about. I didn't realize that Celexa causes weight gain, which I have experienced and I'm hoping with the exercise and being off Celexa I can get it off again. One thing that I noticed recently that being on Celexa caused me to be very tired. I would sleep 8-10 hours a night and still be very tired. I'm hoping that as long as the depression doesn't kick back in again I will not need so much sleep. So right now my plan of action is to exercise, and to try to remain calm in high stress situations by meditating and self talks. So far I feel fine. I used to fly off the handle at minute things but Celexa has helped me just take a step back and organize my thought process and handle things calmly and with ease. I'm just hoping to get emotion back into my life. That is what I really miss. Do you think my plan of action is safe. I know that my doctor told me that I should wean myself off, and that was my original plan, but the cold turkey hasn't been so bad, thus far.
