What was the tapering like for an SSRI? Do you remember over what period of time and how it was decreased?

It was monthly. I don't remember the order of the medications, but I remember the effects. The most prominent one were the brain zaps and some confusions, especially in the mornings. On the bright side, I had some creativity coming back to me and I started back on some of my creative outlets (mostly my wife and therapy helped me come back to reality). And my biggest relief was when my brain fog (sometimes I even forgot my colleagues' names) cleared up. But yeah, before I could stop it completely I was fast tracked back up on a different regimen of SSRI combinations after my wife's accident.

Sorry to hear about the accident and thanks for the response.
I've been on celexa for a decade now and have always wondered what it would be like if I ever had to come off.
