This has got to be the most horrible withdrawal symptoms from Celexa. I was on it for 8 months. 10mg is what i started out on..then up to 20mg then back down to ten. I have experienced pain in my legs, hot and cold sweats, headaches, vivid dreams, rapid heart rate, brain zaps as its called, fatigue, cotton head...which is dry mouth and your head feeling fuzzy. I have been off this medication for 3 weeks and symptoms are still the same. they didn't start until after 1 and half weeks of stopping the medication. I have also had dilated pupils. That started the 2nd week of being off Celexa. I have read that some have symptoms for months...any feedback on this would be so much appreciated.
