Thanks for all the information! I take 20 mg. of the generic Celexa daily. Since stopping the opioids, I take the .25 generic of Xanax to sleep at night to relax my muscles and control the pain. I really appreciate all the information you gave me! Thanks again!

If you decide to stop the Celexa and have your doctor taper you down carefully. If you have only been on it a month or two, you may not need a taper. But the longer you use it, the more important the taper becomes.

I tried to stop the generic Xanax for 2 nights now and have had weird head ache today, so I ask my pharmacist and she said I cannot stop this medication suddenly. She told me to take 1/2 tablet of the Alprazolam .5 mg tonight and try to even cut it into 1/4 for one week!

Xanax is a benzodiazepine and also
Requires a taper when stopped. If you have been on it for a long time the taper has to be managed more slowly. Some people find that this drug Is very difficult to discontinue. Of you search Google for " benzo taper" or " benzo withdrawal" you will find more Information.

A few years ago, I was hospitalized; followed by surgery a few days later. Somehow, the fact that I was on Vallium 5MG's twice a day (sometimes an extra cut in half ) was overlooked. I don't know how much this caused the nausea and some other difficulties I was dealing with but it was not until a few days after the surgery my son remarked to the resident doctor that I appeared to be in some sort of withdrawal that it was noticed I had not been receiving any Vallium. (I am on Oxycontin/Percocet which they had been giving me on a regular schedule.) Until then, I was not aware Vallium was a benzo or that withdrawal could be a problem. If I had realized this, I might have figured out some of my additional issues could be Vallium related. Gerry |
