Thanks for the responses--you all listen a lot better than my doctor!
Since I'm no longer in school, my insurance cuts off at the end of the year and that's why I was looking at quitting Celexa, besides the fact that I hate feeling dependent on a drug to function properly. My doctor (who's just a GP) seems to think that it's OK to go off it cold turkey, but I know that's malarkey because I did that last year and I was depressed for the entire 3 months I was off it. I didn't have mood swings, though...I just felt like Eeyore from "Winnie the Pooh" all the time.
I'm weaning myself (i.e. decreasing the dosage systematically) because that's how I started it...I started taking 5 mg a day and worked up to 20, because my psychiatrist didn't know how I would react to it. I just want rid of these mood swings...I mean, getting excited when the weekly
newspaper comes is weird, and so is staying sad for days over piddly little things.
