Hello
I've been taking 20mg's of celexa for 3+ years.
I tried to get off it many times gradually, however the zapping in my head is slow constant I cannot.
It's very scary. My doctor says it has nothing to do withdrawal but is because of tyhe stress my ex-wife has put me through over the last 4 years.
I also experience zapping/buzzing when i feel stressed even when I take my Celexa.
Does anyone but me have this severe reaction?
i've read some people having a few zaps a week.
Here is what transpires:
First 24hours no zaps
24-36hours- 2-3 zaps in that period and fatigue
36-48 Zapping intensifies to 1 every hour or 2. Inability to concentrate, feel awkward become flushed, warm
48-72hours- Cannot function normally zapping at least 1 an hour
72+ Feel zapping every 10-15min. Feels like my brain is zapping because it running on empty. It does not subside and becomes unbearable. i'm confined to my home for my own safety;. Feel sweaty tired
can anyone help me.
The pdoc just gives me a blank stare whe ni ask him about it and my family doc thinks it has nothing to do with withdrawal
Can someone explain or suggest a course of action
I've tried to use Clanazopam to reduce the withdrawal symptoms to not effect.
