Anyone get PGAD from getting off a med?

Specifically SSRIs. All my problems started after discontinuing Celexa. I just want to know if anyone else's started this way. I have heard it's pretty rare.

Rane,
If you don't have any of the other symptoms of PN besides PGAD then I think it makes sense to wonder if going off Celexa is what caused your PGAD -- something to do with the neurons and serotonin.
If you have some of the other symptoms of PN such as bladder problems or pain, then you have to wonder if maybe there is some other type of accompanying nerve pathology that Celexa was helping to mask. I think you said you had a fall on your bum?

It was my lower back actually, hit right on the spine. Thing is, I had this symptom after I got off the meds, only to have it go away before coming back a few days ago. It's weird.

Well, that is odd. How long were you symptom-free? I know lots of people have had symptoms of PN come and go but that doesn't necessarily mean your PGAD is caused by PN.

Rane,
Go to benzobuddies. They can help. They are a group that helps with benzo and ssri use wd.
