You will have to taper off Effexor from 75 mg to 37 mg over a period of four weeks, but speak with your physician before doing so. Then restart Celexa. Do not do it cold turkey as you may have severe withdrawal symptoms. In the meantime, take your anti-GERD medication or request some from your Family Physician.
