I've been maxed out on Celexa for at least 2 years (closer to 3 I think). I suffer from bouts of both insomnia and hypersomnia. I might be awake for two days and then sleep for 15 hours and wake feeling like a zombie. I've had sleep studies done, hormones checked, etc. You name it, I've had it checked. My pdoc feels I should remain on Celexa for the time being. It is not a drug to play around with, trust me. I made the mistake of trying to lower the dose on my own; I will not ever again. Right now I have SAD on top of rapid cycling bpII. I am hoping once the weather gets better I will too. If not, I will likely try to lower my dosage, under supervision (hospitalization).
