I did try going off Celexa once, last summer, and I had horrendous w/d symptoms even with the very low dose I'm on. I was angry, irritable, explosive......and definitely depressed. I wasn't on an AP then, so it might be worth it to try again, but I'm really leery of futzing around with the meds since I'm still unstable.

My lows aren't as severe as my highs, and I have more mania than depression. It's strange how that's happened in the past few years; when I was younger it was the other way around. My pdoc was wanting to decrease my AP dose in a few months, but it's obvious that I need it or I wouldn't have these episodes.....we'll see what he has to say about it on Friday.

In the meantime, I'm not the least bit depressed---I landed softly this time, thank God! But coming down from mania is kind of like having a high fever, and then when the fever breaks you feel chilled, even though you're sitting at a 'normal' 98.6.
