If you are taking 20mg/day, try 10mg/day for a while and see if that helps. Oh, another thing-you might try taking your Celexa dose in the evening instead of first thing in the morning. Or...you might switch the Celexa to a more activating SSRI like Zoloft or Prozac.

More makes my mood unstable. Sometimes I take 20 when really stressed (ex. grief or husband's irritability.) I don't want to crash. What about a drug holiday? 2 days off, 5 days on type of thing. Has anyone ever tried this. then i would at least get some things done. Once a pdoc said that the extra energy when stopping an ad was "discontinuation syndrome". Have you ever heard of such a thing? He was changing me from Zoloft to Effexor XR. This new pdoc put me on celexa and thought i would not need klonopin but that did not make sense to me. klonopin keeps me more stable.
So thanks for your input and my question is about drug holidays and discontinuation syndrome and whether or not I am setting myself up for a crash.
