re: Suddenly stopping anti-depressants: Brain zaps

Celexa and most all of the medications in its class have a very short half life and if you are taking them for an extended period of time, can cause a serotonin withdrawal. Most all of your symptoms sound similar to that.
Your doctor would be the best source of information but I would recommend you go back on the prior dose for a week and then decrease the dose by 25% of the dose every 2 weeks until you are off.
Or you can choose to "wait it out" and it will eventually resolve.
Good Luck.

Probably already said, but you shouldn't stop taking most anti-depressants cold turkey. You usually have to taper off them.
