Lexapro vs. Celexa vs. Nothing
I have just withdrawn from Celexa, after being on Celexa for about 2 or more
years!
I tried Lexapro, and had no additional help from it, but my blood pressure
increased to 180/120.
Here is my Celexa withdrawal timeline:
October 21 - 30, 2002 Lexapro 5 mg.
October 31 - November 27 Celexa 10 mg.
November 27 - December 15 Celexa 5 mg.
December 16 - December 30 Celexa 2.5 mg.
December 30 - January 3 NO Celexa
As you can see, I have withdrawn gradually, and I have felt almost no effects
from the withdrawal.
I can say that I feel no different now on NO Celexa then when I was on 10 mg.
Celexa or 5 mg. Celexa EXCEPT that I have been sleeping less.
I seem to have more energy off the Celexa then when I was on it.
I want to see how being off Celexa is for a while.
I could not get above 20 mg. Celexa. When I was on higher than 10 mg. Celexa, my
left eye was twitching all the time.
My problems have been:
1. 40 pounds of weight gain
2. lack of libido
3. lack of feelings except anger
4. fatigue
5. difficulty starting to do tasks, and especially clean up my place
So, how am I supposed to feel different OFF Celexa than on Celexa?
Can somebody answer?
