Hi, every single issue has now resolved.

I believe the frequent urination was only in the very beginning of withdrawal.

Being that you took one pill at a low dosage I'm sure you will be fine.

Just don't panic and you must realize that mosly everyone on here that has a tough time with quitting these drugs were on them for years. I was on for a total of 13 years including tapering. Some over 20 years.

 Good luck and try to just flow with whatever comes your way.


thank you. Glad to hear you’re doing better!!

April 2022- Only 1 celxa pill 10mg

had an adverse reaction & never took anymore again

Well, it’s been a little over 8 years and things are awesome. I feel 100% myself and it is all a distant memory. 
was looking back at my postings and it is very strange. It actually feels like I’m reading what someone else went through. Glad to say that I really don’t remember how awful this experience can make you feel. 
what is the really sad thing about this whole ordeal is that I know there are countless people out there who try and come off this crap and then doctors keep medicating them believing they actually need meds when probably 90% of the people on them should NEVER have been put on them to begin with. Now lots of people are in a perpetual cycle of meds and withdrawal when they come off and just put back on again.  I’m sure the insanity of todays society has ALOT to do with these drugs being given out like candy for stupid reasons including simple anxiety that people for millennia have dealt with.

Good luck to you all and remember, just keep pushing through and flow with it.
