I went on 20mg of Celexa, found it kicked in pretty quickly (a week or so), but after about 6 weeks I was totally devoid of motivation or interest in anything and had to come off it because my life was worse on it than off. I stopped without tapering (GP told me to..) and after a couple of weeks started to have "brain shocks" and a load of other weird physical things (and not even entirely certain they were caused by Celexa withdrawal). I've been off it about 2 months now and still having a few "shocks" a day. Oh, and my sex life died. Effexor was just the same for me really, although the withdrawal was much more violent but over far quicker.
