I would go slower with tappering down! I had a lot of troubles tappering down with Celexa. I would suggest 5mg/week. Take a knife and cut the tabs or go with the liquid form.
Good luck !> > Hi All:

I guess now I'll find out about that electric shock thing, huh LOL. I'll report my findings on my personal "experiment" to this Board.

> Hi Dave,
> How did you and your Dr.decide you're stable? Does that mean you no longer have anxiety- not any symptoms at all? ever?
> I'm curious because in these two years I've been on various medications and I have never felt yet that I could call myself stable. I still have occasional anxiety - usually during stressful times. I don't feel I'm depressed- but when I do feel the anxiety I sometimes feel as if it's happening all over again and to me it's like starting from day one for each little set back.
