I have been on Celexa for a while but recently started to ween off.I have been taking 5mg a day for a week and i have acuired this scrambled head feeling.It's hard to concentrate on things and remember stuff that i normally wouldn't have a problem with.Are these normal withdrawal symptoms?I feel great other than that annoying feeling.Has anyone else experienced these types of feelings coming off Antidepressants?

I am also weaning myself off of a different drug (Lexapro) and have weaned off of others as well over the years so I could switch to another- does that make sense? Anyway, that feeling of airheadedness takes a few days to several weeks to go away and I have experienced it with each type of antidepressant that I have had to go off of. It is a normal withdrawal side effect- just know that it will go away. Pay close attention to yourself when you are coming off though, because you will probably relapse and it can be quite bad. I always make sure that someone knows that I am going off of it so they can be a support to me if I have a crying session or whatever.
