Did you quit medications with the doctor's permission. I tried to quit a few medications like that and has very similar experiences. I called the psychiatrist who told me that I needed to taper off because the meds I was on were known to cause seizures in certain individuals if stopped quickly.


Good luck.

don't you just love it when doctor's listen to us!! How frustrating. I would have done the same thing. It's interesting how the same medication can have such different effects on different people. My husband took the lowest dose of celexa for a few months and it made him manic. It does nothing for me. You sound like you tappered down quite well.

Are you going to search for a different doctor? It is such a hassle, I know. Trying to find one, waiting for an appt., etc. Good luck. I hope someone else here can provide some comments on what they think is going on.

Take care,
