The board has several pages now so you'll have to jump around or start at page 1 and go to 70 or whatever. http://www.drugs.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=7826&whichpage=1 DO NOT STOP LEXAPRO WITHOUT TALKING TO A DOCTOR OR AT LEAST READING COMMENTS ON THE LINK THAT I POSTED!!! Lexapro withdrawal is brutal. ~ T 'I'm surprised that everyone is saying to "wean" off of this so slowly. My doctor told me if I ever decided to quit it, to just stop taking it because it's not addictive. However, I am having all of the symptoms mentioned.
I take celexa for anxitety.... can this drug be taken with the diet pill tenuate? I have been on tenuate for 6 months and have lost weight. I know a side effect of most antidepressants can be weight gain. I DO NOT WANT TO GAIN BACK THIS WEIGHT!
I seriously recommend weaning off them, half the dose for three weeks or so, then every second day for a week or two then nothing. I tried going cold turkey in the past of zoloft, and I relapsed a month or two after had to get back on them. I am in my last days of weaning off them, and I am completely fine, no horrible side affects as with cold turkey. But a tiny bit of light headedness every now and them.
The most obvious consequence is that your depression symptoms will come right back and seem worse than ever. Never just stop taking an anti-depressant -- talk to your doctor about tapering off and/or switching to something else.
It can cause weight gain, irritability and suicidal tendencies.
My Dr just changed me from 20mg of Lexapro to 60 mg of cymbalt. I have been on Lexapro for years He put me just with in one week 60 MG OF Cymbalta. They are checking for fybromyajiga.
you can experience symptoms of nausea, headaches, mood swings etc its best to come off them slowly
Celexa is a prescription drug used to treat depression and anxiety. If a person were to stop taking Celexa cold turkey, they might experience nausea, shaking, headache and confusion.
Celexa does not have a withdrawal syndrome (or even a discontinuation syndrome as is the case with abrupt cessation of Paxil or Effexor, for instance).
Celexa can cause withdrawal. A patient must be on the medication for quite some time before something like this happens. Celexa Withdrawal Side Effects are as follows: Headache, Increased Sweating, Diarrhea, Insomnia, Muscle Cramps and/or Muscle Pain, Restless Legs (Pins and Needles feeling in legs), Dilated Pupils, Irritability, and Hallucinations. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION RIGHT AWAY IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS AFTER DISCONTINUING CELEXA.
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.
How can you ease the side effects of withdrawal from lexapro
Wellbutrin and celexa are two different drugs. Celexa is a good drug for anxiety and welbutrin is better to counter the effects of high anxiety drugs which can make you almost comatose. Wellbbutrin can cause people with anxiety nightmares so be careful with that one.
Glee withdrawal is when the hit TV show Glee is on a hiatus and the glee fans are feeling the effects of it.
LSD is not physically addictive. There are no physical withdrawal symptoms. It just wears off after awhile.
It's an antidepressant used to treat major depression, anxiety/panic attacks. As a former user, I wouldn't recommend it unless you really need it. I experienced horrible trembling side effects when on it, and the withdrawal was worse.
Celexa is very similar to Lexapro one is Citalopram and the other Escitalopram. lexapro is newer and supposed to have fewer side effects but Celexa is helpful and similar to Lexapro.
possible depression, social withdrawal,new life,money
Alprazolam is a benzodiazepine.
Multiple reasons: pleasure (from the main effects or the side effects) addiction (aviodance of the pain of withdrawal).
celexa is an ssri antisepressant, xanax is a benzodiazepine... the mixture of these 2 srugs are fine... though whilst starting celexa you may get side effects, if 1 of these is drowziness then xanax may increase it
