[QUOTE="Josie, post: 391345, member: 1792"] In case you don't already know this, Celexa needs to be tapered off. Be aware that there can be symptoms from withdrawal. My daughter tapered off Lexapro (a next generation Celexa) and had withdrawal symptoms later and longer than her psychiatrist predicted. We went slower than he suggested but still did it. She's been off medications for years so I am sure, in her case, it was withdrawal and not her needing the medication. We made a significant change in her diet and I was pretty sure she wouldn't need it anymore, so I am not suggesting that other people ignore their psychiatrist, by any means. Just know that there can be effects from stopping it. When she was taking it, if we forgot to give her a dose, her behaviour was scary. Worse than anything before or since. [/QUOTE]
