Hi,
Last week I started weaning off 60 mg down to 30 right away...and started 40 mg Celexa. My doc never suggested bead counting...I've been tracking my symptoms and have experienced zaps and dizzyness but have slept fine.
WHAM, today I got blasted with three times as much dizziness and zapping...I feel zombie-like.
Thinking it was part allergy symptoms I took a Claritin...that helped somewhat...less dizziness while seated.
My psychiatrist called back and told me to double my Celexa which i am supposed to do tomorrow anyway, report any changes and then call tomorrow afternoon.
The worsening of symptoms must suggest I'm weaning too fast? Thanks to the advice of others on this forum, I am going to stay on the Cymbalta until my doc and I deal with this.
From your experience, do side effects get worse before they get better? I'm clueless at this point...
