I've been taking Celexa for about 4 months now, and I'm thinking about stopping it. I've gained over 10 pounds, but the worse side effect I'm having is joint and muscle pain. The joint pain is keeping me from doing a lot of things I like or need to do. It started 2-3 months ago....just out of the blue. I've been off Celexa for the past 6 days because I ran out of it and had no refills--until I went to my psy. doctor and spent $90 for him to write me a prescription. (Ugh!) Anyway, I have no side effects right now from not taking the pills for the past week, and even though I now have a new prescription I can fill, I'm thinking about not filling it. I would like to hear from others who have weaned off of Celexa, either by yourself or with the help of your doctor. Did you do it cold turkey or a little at a time?
