Hi M. :-)
You have been taking a medication which has been working with the chemistry in your brain for the last one and one half years. It is critical that you do NOT just "go off of it" because you feel good.. you feel good because you have been on it and an abrupt withdrawal will potentially cause a crisis within your brain chemistry.
Here is information coming directly from the drug manufacturer:
"Symptoms associated with discontinuation of Celexa and other SSRIs and SNRIs have been reported (see PRECAUTIONS). Patients should be monitored for these symptoms when discontinuing treatment. A gradual reduction in the dose rather than abrupt cessation is recommended whenever possible. If intolerable symptoms occur following a decrease in the dose or upon discontinuation of treatment, then resuming the previously prescribed dose may be considered. Subsequently, the physician may continue decreasing the dose but at a more gradual rate."
Please phone your doctor in the morning and let him know what you have done and what you would like to do. The daily headache relates to your "head" where the medication has been targeting :-)
