Celexa and Effexor
Hi, I have been on Celexa for 8 years and Effexor for about 8 months and have decided to stop taking both cold turkey. It's been 3 days for the Celexa and 2 days for the Effexor. I am 43 and have had a total hyeterectomy 5 years ago. I did have a crying spell yesterday, but must say felt better. Is this normal?? or is ok to just stop the medicine??
Thanks
Thanks

Most people need to ween off these medications for a few weeks to minimize any side effects. Speak with your doctor for a program to help you minimize any side effects. It might vary depending on your personal history.

I have taken both of those meds. I would say that you need to ween yourself off of them. Going cold turkey can cause side effects especially with the effexor. I had crying spells and a few mood swings.
