Hey folks I need some help and advice - right I have been taking celexa (cipramil) for a just over a year now, 20mg. But yesterday I didn't take a dose and neither did I today because I am meant to be starting reboxetine 4mg or is that 8mg? A day. But thing is, I feel completely COMPLETELY nuts, which I realise is withdrawal, I get electtric shocks like when I was on venlafaxine and I am very very disoriented! I feel drunk. I don't trust myself to have the coordination to use the stove to make something for tea!
Will taking the reboxetine lessen the withdrawal of celexa? And celexa = seretonin and reboxetine = noradrenaline (you folks in the us call it noriprine - hey I can't spell that!)
so do I need to taper down the celexa and taper up the reboxetine at the same time? The pharmacist and my doc just said to switch straight from one to the other, but intuitively because they target different neurotransmitters, surely I'll need to taper off the celexa first!?
