Celexa Withdrawal

Celexa Withdrawal

I was on 80 mg Celexa for 9 years and started tapering off approximately a month ago. Now, I am having migraines, extreme dizziness, nausea, muscle weakness, crying, anxiety, extreme muscle pain.  I'm afraid I won't be able to work. I have been totally off the med for 9 days now and am wondering if I should go back to a small dose and come off more slowly.
Thanks,
equidlady

So it seems it took you 3 weeks to taper off from 80 mg.

I would ask my doctor to taper it off more slowly because you have been on it for a long time and because 80mg is a high dose.

3 weeks is a very fast taper indeed,  you have to also consider the length of time you've been on the drug as well.  Why did you go off the med? You may be starting to feel the physical/mental affects of depression as well. Are you being followed by your physician or your psychiatrist?
