Thanks for the advice....
In answer to your questions I only plan to be on 2mgs which I take at night (which feels like a lot to me given the foggy feeling and the mid-morning napping)....for a couple months until we are sure the wellbutrin is at the right dose and the celexa withdrawal is over. Given a previous bad experience, I was very nervous about coming off of it..especially so fast...like basically a 2 week period.
Amazingly its been fine so far other than the sleepiness (but then again everything makes me sleepy) and the foggyness. I feel a big improvement in my mood.....I am unsure if that is the absence of the celexa or the presence of the klonoopin or wellbutrin....my guess it is the Wellbutrin but who knows.
I guess we shall see but it is good to hear that I don't have to come off fast and that a slow taper from 2mg should be okay.
To answer your last question, I did have anxiety/panic disorder 8 years ago, thats how I got on the Celexa in the first place but it went into remission and I haven't had any significant episodes since. (except for 3 years ago when I decided to try to wean myself off the celexa and had 2 weeks of craziness.) I am now of the belief that a little bit of benzos is not such a bad thing. :)
