A few years ago I was prescribed Celexa. I thought it worked fine but come to find out my BCBS would not cover the stuff. @ $120 a month I could not afford the drug. Now it seems there is a generic for it. I have a 30 day supply prescribed for me from the doc from hades to "see how it goes".

What I wonder is this....now that I'm off SSRI's for the first time in 14 years. If I take this stuff for a month and decide it is no help to me will I go through the god awful withdrawals I did with Effexor?

I am so afraid of SSRI's now after that withdrawal I went through. I cannot imagine that any drug could be any worse to cold turkey off as Effexor. I have never been so sick, not even with a terrible flu.

What do you think? Give it a try? Am I playing with fire?
