Best Answer

If you are referring to coming off the antidepressant Celexa (generic name citalopram), then the answer is as follows:

Typically, the dose is gradually lowered so that withdrawal effects are kept to a minimum. The exact time required to come off Celexa depends on one's current dosage, and several other factors. However, the term "titrate" is usually applied to finding the correct dosage for a person being put on Celexa. In this case, the doseage is gradually rasied to find a level which produces the desired theraputic results with the least side effects.
