Hi!
I first started with celexa about 10 years ago. Took it for maybe 6 months, worked really good and started cold turkey. I was feeling pretty bad after but didnīt thought quitting the med had that power.. Anyway, I started again 2 years later and now Iīve been on diffrent SSRI since 8 years. The past 4 years Celexa. Iīve had doses up 60mg and mostly 40mg but now Iīm on 25mg since a couple of months. During the past 8 years Iīve also hade chronic muscle problems with both severe cases of upper and lower cross syndrome so I havenīt been able to exercise almost anything, or paint, play music, socialize, read a book, nothing really.. I have had suicide thoughts all these years and sometimes really strong wish to just die. I started to have this now more often because Iīve fight so hard but canīt be free from these meds.
Before all of this, I sure was an outgoing person, always active with something, liked people and loved life!! I work now as a music teacher. Surrounded by music and creativity but canīt help to just feel nothing for it. One thing in me wants to feel that, but itīs as it were a blanket over my brain. I have tried to raise the med, In the beginning Iīm feeling a lot better but afterwards it goes back, and Iīve tried to lower the dose, I was on 20mg for 6 months earlier this year, thought it would normalize the level but didnīt. I s there any hope to quit the medicine. I mean I read about all these withdrawal stories but I canīt even taper this med so I come to that point
At this point is it better to try something else and start tapering from there, because it doesnīt feel as this med helps me anymore but also I canīt quit it because of stronger anxiety and so on..
