Amitriptyline, celexa, and klonopin

[empress989]

I have been off amitriptyline now for 3 weeks. The doctors took all my meds off me 3 weeks ago bc of serotonin toxicity. The withdrawals were horrid. Then a week later they started me back on 5mg of celexa and 4 days ago klonopin to sleep. My stomach pain is just grueling. I can't figure out what is causing what anymore....still in withdrawal? Is the klonopin causing me stomach pain? I just don't feel good anymore.

Empress, I'm very surprised your doctors took you off amitriptyline cold tourkey, you should have been tapered off it one step at a time over several weeks. I don't know about the other 2 meds. You must talk to your doctors about stomach pains and also asked why they wrre stopped without slowly reducing the dosage as is normal with amitriptyline as you suffered greatly from withdrawal because of their decision to take you off it cold turkey style.
