> Hi - I have been taking Celexa for years. I am on 50 mg. a day, and I was taking it for PMDD (Pre Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder). Well - I am past that stage of my life now and I am clear and free of anymore PMS. So now it is time for me to stop. How do I do it?

my husband has been on Celexa for years as well as Klonopin (sp). He has told me in the past that when he gets off of it, I'll have to put him in a hospital. He knows that his body is addicted to it and it will take a psych hosptal or drug ward for him to clean himself from the drugs.
I was recently diagnosed with the same PMDD as yourself. The doc has me on Prozac for now, but I many times feel that I need a stronger dose than what I'm taking now.
Good luck! He has told me that if he were to stop the drugs his self, he would slowly wear away from it. Halfing the doses every day to every other day and so on.
