JenStar~I did what you did once before and numerous times I mess with the doseage because I need to feel I dont' really need this stuff! It bums me out to be taking meds everyday.
When I stopped taking Celexa I weaned myself off. It took FOREVER! I was getting brain zaps and dizziness but I was starting to feel sharp again~like my true self. Then my daughter was due to fly home from college and I started to obsess about her on the plane and I totally lost it. (I forgot to mention that I really started to lose some weight not automatically but on EDiets and I was able to concentrate and actually feel like I had some self control!) Anyway, I worried so much I called a psychiatrist and begged him to see me that day and put me back on the Celexa. He did and about a year later I told my doctor the Celexa seemed "flat" and that I had been told Lexapro was good with less side effects well he did what I told him and now about 10 lbs heavier and dull and buzzing I am on this.
I suppose I have to be on this type of med but I do believe I am now addicted to what it does and to be off makes my symptoms WORSE than they were.
Good luck to all of us. This is our brain remember it controls everything.
