withdrawl or just relapse?

backed my celexa down from 10mg to 5mg and physically have been feeling great was nice to funtion normally again but my old friend anxiety has crept back in with a vengence.During the time i was on 10mg i was anxiety free but severly sedated 24/7 now at 5mg i'm back to myself physically but menatlly i am begining to suffer alot again.I start therapy next friday and have klonopin but am wondering if this is withdrawl that i should ride out or up the dose again and get some peace and be a vegetable till next friday.

Re: withdrawl or just relapse?

the smallest effective dose of celexa is generally 10 so you may be better doing an overnight swap to any other prozac type med, celexa is one of these and you seem uinusually sensitive to it
be wary of valium as it will add more sedation

try to find a helpful pharamcist or druggist, they generally have more interest in med side effects than docs
