I have been on Celexa for two months now, and I was just wondering what is the proper way to discontinue usage of this drug. I tried cold turkey but I got some weird side effects. I was using 20 mg. per day. If some one has the answer please post it here. I would really like to discontinue the Celexa.

Why do you want to discontinue the Celexa?

I had some unpleasant sensations going off Celexa, too, but they didn't go on too long. If possible, though, I would drop no more than 5 mg every 2 wk.s. If you just can't stand the prospect of a 2-month taper, maybe 5 mg per week. What does your doctor say?
It's a pain to taper off when the theraputic dosage is so small, which is one reason I chose Zoloft--it's easier to make small dosage adjustments. Celexa isn't bad, though.> > I have been on Celexa for two months now, and I was just wondering what is the proper way to discontinue usage of this drug.
