I’ve been off of Celexa for a little over a week. I know it has a short half-life (something like 36 hrs.), so could I still be feeling side effects? I only took it for about a month, but it made me feel horrible. Is this extreme exhaustion, head pressure, weakness, and bad overall feeling a side effect? Thanks.
