When to wean self off Celexa?
Mindy Goldman, M.D.: In general, I recommend women having control of their symptoms for at least six months before they begin trying to wean themselves off the medication. If you do wean off the Celexa (chemical name: citalopram) and your hot flashes return, it’s certainly safe to start back up on the medication. There’s nothing wrong with staying on medications such as Celexa if it’s helping you.
