i've been taking 25 mg of luvox (w/o p-doc approval, please no chastisement). she is starting me on celexa, which i'd like to start today. last does of 25 mg luvox was 24 hours ago. how long (if at all) do i need to wait before starting celexa at very low dose. i am desperate to begin a new course of treatment and see how it feels (re: side effects) BEFORE leaving for an overseas trip in one week. celexa has worked well for me in the past, but pooped out. i'm hoping for the best this time around again...
would appreciate any helpful info either way ASAP, as i have this lovely little pink pill in hand.
thanks,
amelia

In reply to urgent - breather between luvox celexa?, posted by AmeliaBedelia on January 19, 2005, at 5:51:33
According to this chart:

You should taper the luvox over 3-7 days prior to beginning the celexa. Or you could probably just starting the celexa now, but at a lower dose.
