I've been on a few anti-depressants I just didn't like. I've also been foolish enough to take myself off them, cold turkey. DON'T DO THIS. I agree with what others have said. If you're determined to be off it and don't have a doctor to consult (or won't), the best thing is to taper off slowly. I don't know much about Celexa, but some anti-depressants have an SSRI discontinuation syndrome that basically feels like mild electrocution, 20 times a day. So give yourself a few weeks (or months) for the taper, and be gentle on yourself. Please take good care.
