celexa withdraw
by bodine, Jan 02, 2006 12:00AM
I have been on anti-depressants for 11 yrs. Paxil, Celexa, Lexapro(2 mths) and back on Celexa. I was having anxiety. I was very very happy, not depressed, but my dr. convinced me after a long time that I needed an anti-depressant. I've since gained so much weight; I don't recognize myself. I decided to get off of the drug. I tapered off slowly. One month after I was completely off and after all the brain zingers and dizzies were gone, I found I really was feeling blue and anxious. I went back on celexa. I am going to ween myself off of this again. Does anyone know how long it takes to get this out of your system. And will I ever get my sexual desire back? If I only had a proximal time frame, I think maybe I could stop this drug. Anybody! Please help!!

There have been counless cases where antidepressants cause tragedies for people that normally would have been o.k.
If you want to stay yourself wean off, the side effects will be gone after a while.
I wish you luck.
