Stopping Celexa
by Klarise, Nov 05, 2008 11:46AM
I have been on celexa for the past 3 years at 60mg a day. I'am still unable to work and have many other problems as well, such as eating disorder, social phobia, post tramatic stress syndrome, severe depression, anxiety, and i could add more but those are the main ones. I have now run into a situation where my insurance coverage has me in Limbo. They are trying to decide whether they will continue coverage or not. Without this coverage I can not afford to buy the celexa anymore. I only have 2 days left of the prescription and may have to stop taking it cold turkey. What types of side affects am I looking at having, And is it even safe to stop taking it this way.

You should talk to a pharmacist if you can't afford a doctor as there are different tapering strategies.
Last week I took 5 mg for 8 days. Now I am in my 6th day of nothing. Does anyone have any experience with the last days that I am in?
I feel great but occasionally, perhaps once or twice a day, get a stab for a few seconds that takes 10 more seconds to reassure myself and go back to normal.
