I was on celexa 40 mg for 7 months. I went from 40mg to 30mg and stayed there for 5 days, then from 30mg to 20mg for 5 days, then 20 to 10mg and stayed on 10 mg for a week.After that itook 5 mg every day for maybe 8 days and then the 5 mg piece when i felt the withdrawal coming. It took maybe a litttle over a month but I got 0 withdrawal. I felt a bit low once or twice but it was nothing major and remember when u feel low when coming off an ssri just keep thinking that your brain has to get used to the drug being gone and u will feel normal real soon. I felt better when i stopped it completely as in 0 mg a day but it took maybe 5 days to come out of it. It’s long but it saves you from withdrawal and worse depression that u started off with.
