> I was on 40mg of Celexa for a year. Doc gave me Klonopin to help ease anxiety while coming off of celexa. I took it once and fell asleep at work. that was the end of that. I've been off of the celexa for one week. I have this feeling of "medicine head" like you get when you have a really bad cold or something. Is this from withdrawl? Also I've been on a no carb diet for 3 weeks. Could this head in the clouds feeling be from that? Is there any benefit for my depression and anxiety from this diet? Is there something else I should try, because my depression is easing back. PMS this month nearly took me out! Not sure what to do next? I have an appointment with my doc in two weeks.
> P.S. Sorry I'm all over the place here.

You could still be having some withdrawal symptoms from the Celexa, though I found them to be minimal compared to Effexor XR.
I would advise that you get off the NO CARB diet though, that will definitely mess up your blood sugar levels and that will definitely make you feel weird, and from experience I know that having your blood sugar levels off contributes to the symptoms of depression. (I'm hypoglycemic).
Why are you on the NO CARB diet? Just for weight loss reasons, or do you think that there is something in what you eat effecting your depression?
