I have been taking a 10 mg of celexa (citalopram) since 2/23, what is the best way to taper off to stop? every night i have the craziest dreams & cant sleep!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Celexa (citalopram): 10mg. is low dose. My regimen for my patients is to switch to 5mg. twice daily for one week, then taper by 2.5mg. every 3-4 days. Consult your prescribing doctor first.
