Well, for all my courageous words above...the cold turkey method can get stuffed. Full force of withdrawal symptoms hit home at 1am last night and I was a mess. Uncontrollable shaking, panic attacks, hot flashes etc. Ended up taking 10mg in the middle of the night and will now have to wean myself back on them after 6 days off - great! Also, found that drinking any quantity of alcohol whilst withdrawing is making me feel 100 times worse. Stick...

Rodney, Call a suicide crisis center in your area right now. There is no shame int he way you feel. There are people available to help. Hang in there. It may be difficult to understand right now, but there is a reason that you are going through this. Maybe you will be able to help someone else some day in the same situation. Life is too precious to give up on, even when all seems lost. Call that crisis center now.....

I just started taking citalopram 10 mg 4 days ago. Will increase to 20 at day 10. I read that it may cause drowsiness so I took my first one at night. Couldn't sleep more than an hour at a time. So I switched to mornings, and that helped, but my sleep was still disturbed. Last night I took about 2 mg of Melatonin at bedtime and slept like a baby, waking up refreshed. I'm feeling better already, who knows what is to come. Anybody out...

I have to say I will NEVER drink on Celexa again! I take 20mg a day. The lost does. I have been on it for 2 months. I know they say don't drink on it. I am not a drinker at all, maybe 7-8 drinks total in a month.

My husband was written a script for Celexa/Citalopram a couple of months ago. He has a family history of Bipolar, he was only diagnosed with depressin, social anxiety disorder and panic attacks. Alcoholism is a family trait, though he is normally a functioing alcoholic and had hardly consumed any alcohol at all prior to starting Celexa. Towards the end of the first month he was drinking like a fish and telling me all kinds of lies (lying had...

I’ve been searching for a while on the internet because I seemed to have had a panic attack tonight at work and had to leave early (which I NEVER do). I had the following symptoms: -shortness of breath -rapid heartbeat -nausea -dizziness -chills, then hot flashes -shakiness -numbness and tingling in my right arm -the feeling that I needed to go to the hospital or I would die After doing a lot of research, I have found that I most likely had a...

I was on 20 mg of celexa for the past year. Trying to come off it and have severe dizziness, nausea, swollen glands in upper torso, severe itching, can this all be from celexa. I feel like I'm dying.
