yup. celexa withdrawal sucks. Try to do it gradually. I dont know if you can do this with celexa, but with Effexor towards the end you can switch over to super low-dose Prozac...since prozac has a 5-week half life, it kind of tapers itself, if the dose is low enough..but the SSRI action is enough to prevent really bad withdrawal during the brief switch.

Also..as-needed use of sleeping pills might help during withdrawal. Ambien or Restoril or something could make the transition a **good** bit easier.
