What Does It Feel Like To Come Off Of Celexa?

It probably feels different for a lot of people, but I will tell you how it feels from my experience.
After being on Celexa for a little under a year I was told to come off of it to switch to another drug, Abilify. Now, my psychiatrist told me to just come off of it immediately, to just stop taking it.
Let me just say that this is NOT how it should be done. Celexa is a drug that has to take time to get into your system, to build up. You will not notice a significant difference when you begin taking it the very first day. Well, almost a year into building up in my system, I was told to just drop it.

At first I felt fine, body wise, I didn't feel peculiar that very first day I didn't take the medicine. I had also expected to have a drug to fall back on, but as there was no authorization to take this drug (an expensive drug) I couldn't fall back. It was probably the most horrendous week of my life.
The first thing I noticed was how easily angered I was.
This will be noticeable if you are not an easy to anger sort of person, like myself. At the drop of a hat I would just be extremely angry and so very volatile. It wasn't like me to get that way, but there wasn't any other way I could explain why it was happening.

The next thing is the zaps, or buzzes. Most often they are referred to as zaps and often for me they occurred at the back of my head or directly at the top. The best way I can describe it is if a wire is disconnected and has a short in your brain. Bolts of electricity, even though I have never been electrocuted before, just running through your head. With that, plus the onset of anger, made me want to sleep all day long and I couldn't function. So in a sense, I was an emotional mess with a short circuit in my brain. This went on for an entire week until I got onto the new medicine.

As I said, it may be a lot different for others, but I know I'm not the only one (and I have spoken to one other) who has had the zaps from withdraw.
Zaps and uncontrollable emotions were what I went through on a withdraw. That is what it feels like to stop immediately, as for tapering off, I do believe the zaps are still a big part of it. Everyone is different though, this is just based off of my own experience.
