do i need meds

[kelli252]

I started taking celexa about a yr ago. 40 mgs  cut back to 20 mgs. I have been taking 10 mgs for about 5 days but I feel more depressed than I was when I first started on celexa. Is this my mind telling me I still need to be taking it?

probably Have you been cutting back with a doctors supervision?  It is best to cut back this way. why do you wnat to cut back if it is working for you? better to take a pill and be well  instead of the dark hole of depression I take celexa and I love it. gonna take it forever. I am bi polara so it feels great to be stable.
Love Venora

Yes it has been under dr. super. Your right. This feeling is awful. I just didn't know if this was part of cutting back or if it means I really need celexa.

Depression does NOT magically disappear in a lot of cases...you are no exception.  Going off of your medication is going to subject you to pre-medication levels of depression - it is going to suck - what you really need to consider is why you are weaning yourself off of Celexa in the first place.

If you feel you need to 'deal with this on your own' you need to re-evaluate how you view depression and medication, because that is not the proper way to go about this.

I hope you consulted your doctor before going off of your medication, you'd be a fool not to.
