This can happen when some medications, particulary SSRIs like Celexa, are stopped abruptly - even as you describe.
Please - try not to be afraid - call the original prescribing physician (the psychiatrist?)
immediately, report what has happened, and ask for directions.
Then google:
Celexa and read up on this med, especially how it works, its side effects, and what can happen if/when it is discontinued abruptly, etc. so that you understand that some of what you're feeling may be due to the medication.
