In the past I have withdrawn from several antidepressants of different families with remarkably few effects. In each case the doctors weaned me off them slowly and carefully. I remember in one case the doctor had me double the recommended time for each step down -- I don't recall which one.
The meds helped little if at all when I was taking them. They gave me few problems weaning off them. I'm currently taking Celexa as well, and I've been on it for several years.

I don't trust this celexa anymore....I don't like what it does to my brain..
I believe that SEROTONIN is vital for good brain function... but I am going to work on getting enough serotonin by eating the right foods... and also I am taking 5-htp as a supplement to my diet... I am betting that I have not been getting enough tryptophan in my diet... and not enough tryptophan means not enough serotonin... |

I had so many problems with the anti-depressants that I took over the many years..
they would stop working...one of them caused me to be hyper...one caused hallucinations...and I couldn't have sex...I had trouble stopping them... but valium was no problem over many years...5 mg twice a day...I could look forward to being calm at least twice a day...I loved my valium...it worked good...I didn't have side effects...it was hard going off but I did it... |

Little Turtle - I am so sorry for your difficulties. I’m wondering what you think about lithium? Have you ever tried lithium? I’ve started it recently after other med failures. I know you probably aren’t bipolar like me, but in reading about lithium, it can be used in treatment-resist depression or as a booster to antidepressants.
I don’t know where all the articles are I’ve googled, but here is one: https://pro.psychcentral.com/the-inc...um/001606.html |

I just listened to a podcast on mad in America [mia] by dr joseph firth...
it was excellent about how much help you can get from nutritional therapy and exercise therapy...this will be the new therapy for all of us... this is in addition to our anti-depressant...or maybe a replacement.. |

today I made another reduction in my celexa...I went from 5mg to 2.5 mg in the am..
it really scares me with this reduction thing...I don't want to go back down to that hell hole... I am reading the medication guide that I got with my new prescription of celexa...it says-- watch out for sudden changes in mood or behavior especially when the dose is changed.. that certainly worries me...I am an anxious worrier...especially when I am trying to eliminate celexa from my life ....
