Sean,
Well...I'm still kind of confused, actually.
Maybe I phrased my question wrong--I was interested
in how long it takes for 10 mg's of celexa to
wash out of my system. They say the half
life of the normal dose (20 mg's) is 35 hours.
I was also wondering if
the longer you're on the drug, the longer it takes
to get out of your system--like does it build up
in your system...?..and in practical terms, I
guess what I was trying to accomplish was taking
weekend vacations from the drug so I wouldn't have
the sex side effects. So I was trying to figure
out when would be a good time during the week to
go off in order to be drug free by the weekend...
does that make sense?
