Hi all;
I have been taking Celexa for several years.
I do not want to take it anymore. I have been sober for over a year and I think that a lot of my depression/PMDD symptoms were because of the alcohol. So...I weaned myself off of them.
I read a bunch on the internet about coming off of them. Some people said it took 2 years! Ummm, no way am I doing that.
So....question is..I am having some moods swings and crying jags. I have not been taking them at all for 2 weeks. So I am wondering if I should call the doctor and ask for something else or just ride it out now that it has been this long.
I KNOW I should have talked to the doc BEFORE I came off them but here I am now.
Any advice?
