Need help regarding Celexa withdrawal Please :)

Posted by Michelle41A on August 25, 2010, at 14:10:19

Before starting Celexa 3 weeks ago, I was suffering from extreme anxiety,no appetite, tightness in stomach,weight loss and loose bowels. This was caused from coming off Prozac in March 2010. I had to go off Prozac due to it's overstimulating effects which caused the above symptoms :(
I went on 2.5mg Celexa approx 3 weeks ago and the whole time I was on it, I had abdominal cramping and loss of appetite.It did minimize my panic somewhat but the side effects on my gut were killing me.
I finally had enough and stopped taking Celexa 2 nights ago.. Yesterday I felt great! No cramping, ate some food and life was good!
I woke up this morning to loose stools again, severe morning anxiety and unable to eat. I went to the doctor today and he suggested that I try cymbalta or go back to zoloft.
I am so torn as to what to do. I am taking klonopin which calms my gut somewhat but the panic is back. The inital panic did subside somewhat on the Celexa but now that I stopped it, I feel like I am having a relapse.
Should I start up the Zoloft? I was on Zoloft 4 years ago and had success with it. I was thinking of starting at 12.5mg but I am so scared of getting sicker from taking it.. I don't remember Zoloft causing bad abdominal cramping like Celexa has..
Sorry for rambling, I just feel like absolute crap right now and I want to eat but I feel to sick, Any input/suggestions would be awesome!
Thanks!
Michelle
