I was on the anti depressed Celexa for 9 weeks for depression and axienty 10 mg but I starting getting foggy thoughts and headaches etc I have PCS . Well dr said I should stop right away so I did is day 2 and I notice I been real tired yesterday I fell asleep for 12 hours and tonight I felt so tired and all I do was lay around the house on the computer .


Is this a side effect of the drug for quiting? Or is this my pcs coming back? How long would this last these side effects? While I was on the pill I only slept 5-7 hours a night and was up till 1-2 am now I'm so tired by 9 pm I just want to crash hard like I taken 2 sleeping pills or something

I doubt there is any way to predict how long this will last. It may take a few weeks. Usually, quitting an SSRI cold turkey is not recommended.

I suggest you eat healthy, including vitamin and other supplements to help you brain flush out the residue from the Celexa.

Many who quit Celexa cold turkey have very uncomfortable symptoms. Sounds like you are fortunate.
