I have been taking celexa for 3 years. I started with 20mg then 30mg and finally 40mg at bedtime. I took this dosage for several month but stopped al at once two days ago, can I be having withdrawels from this? I'm having dizziness, nause, muscle pain in shoulder area and all round ache in all of my body. I also take lithobid, ambien, meds for thyroid, acid reflux, irritatable bowel.

YOu can definitely be having either rebound or withdrawals...I suggest you talk to your doctor about a weaning schedule.
