Tapering Celexa (citalopram): I don't know how quickly you've been decreasing your Celexa (citalopram) dosage, but it sounds like your body doesn't like the schedule. Are you working with your physician on this? I suggest you speak with him or her, and go at this more gradually. The "shocks" could last for several weeks beyond stopping the celexa (citalopram).
