I have had a few of the reactions that you have described as well. They are very scary. I have woken up restless and then gone to the bathroom and passed out in sweats and sometimes vomiting.
This is when I have only had 2 glasses of wine!This is what I read about it...
Certain medications and supplements may increase the risk of serotonin syndrome in combination with Celexa. Serotonin syndrome may cause confusion, restlessness, lowered coordination, shivering or trembling, diarrhea, fever, sweating, twitching, or behaving with an excitement you can't control. If you experience a cluster of these symptoms, and you suspect that it may be due to a drug interaction or overdose, seek medical attention immediately. (This condition is very rare.)
I don't know what to do...I am very happy with the way that Celexa has helped my depression but I can't TOTALLY give up alcohol..
