Hi. You can alternate 10 mg Celexa and then 5 mg of Celexa for about 6 or 8 days; then take 5 mg Celexa for few days, then every other day for little while. That should do it. You have to reduce doseage very gradually on the ADs. Take your time, even a few weeks, and you will be fine. I have weaned off several ADs and that's the way to go. Good luck.
