Please consider getting a dr's opinion before you change things. I know it's hard but honestly Celexa can be just as stimulating. And if you just start taking it and simultaneously just stop the WB then that's 2 more things that you are asking your brain to handle. You can get so messed up from that...I just went through something similar and it's just bad. (The hospital had no psych beds when I went to the ER so I was in the ER for 30 hours. I got some of my meds at wrong doses the night I spent in the ER. Then when I got to the floor there was an error with admitting me and I got forgotten so I wasn't admitted until midnight and the pharmacy was closed so more of my meds were messed up that night. I was weaning off one AP; since I only got half of it Sunday night and none on Monday the pdoc and I agreed to just stop it effective Sunday even though that would be tougher on me. They didn't have my patch so I went 60 hours before that was changed (it should be changed every 24) and then a few hours after it was put on it was removed b/c we planned to change to another MAOI but then didn't b/c I couldn't afford it. So that finally was put back on correctly Tuesday afternoon. I was on 800 mg of Seroquel XR. They only had immediate release and the ER gave me 900 mg. Then the resident for some odd reason wrote for me to get 400 AM and 400 PM so Monday night I got 400 and didn't know it until Tuesday morning when they tried to give me 400 more. Then Tuesday night we increased from 800 to 1000 mg. The immediate release made me sleepy as soon as I took it but I was waking up really early until the increase and then I was wiped out. I needed to go to 1200 but the pdoc recommended waiting a week or so b/c my body and brain had been through so much. So I did that. When I came home I had to go back to Seroquel XR although I broke some of the tablets to make them immediate release while I adjusted.
I think it took 3 weeks before my brain was over being stunned with all those changes. It was not pleasant.
Your brain and body are just adjusting to the changes your pdoc made. The more you add and subtract the more trauma your brain chemistry is going to go through and you are likely to feel bad from that. I know it is hard but please consider either going to an ER or waiting until Monday and calling your pdoc.
