Taper off effexor before Celexa. My doctor told me, because I such a low dose of Effexor, 150 mg / day is my decision, but I would like to receive celexa.

I was on Celexa and Effexor past. Celexa is terrible. My psychiatrist said it was the worst of antidepressants have. He said if he does so through the last "Lexapro" which is a modified version of Celexa. He said a dose to be sufficiently effective, it leads to hell on the stomach.

Effexor is a life changer for me. However, if you change Effexor has terrible side effects when you stop. Crazy Dreams, brain zapping, nausea, headache. Very slowly or decreasing sad

They should really slow decline. Effexor is known that discontinuation syndrome have very bad (not as a "withdrawal", because it is not technically Effexor no withdrawal symptoms such as physical dependence, but the symptoms are more or less the same). 150 mg / day is not really that low doses, is certainly far from the maximum, not to neglect but to.

Crazymeds.us recommends reducing the dose of 37.5 mg per week until you like this, when you may be able to start taking Celexa citalopram and ride leaves the Effexor. Talk to your doctor in detail, but I would say go ahead slowly, as the syndrome of failure can be very unpleasant and Yor in the future does not make you feel worse.
