My newest Doctor changed my Rx to Celexa.
It is going to take 3 weeks for me to get off current meds, 1 week of no meds, then allow another 4 weeks for this one to start working…?
can you see me digging a hole to just throw myself into!? I’m dreading this change! 2 MONTHS of hell is what I see. Everytime I change meds it seems so traumatic.
Does anyone else experience this?
this new doc also gave me a move/video on SAD.
anyone seen it?
hi, md. in the ‘anti depressant meds’ club the first two links are for Celexa info(webMD and
Rick
askdrkoop). I’m pretty sure there are folks in that club who’ve taken Celexa, or at least were asking about
it.
good luck, and if we can help you through the transition period, well, you know our “number”
Hi! Yes I know about the changing meds trauma! I
went from Pamelor to Prozac with a similar program to
what you’re doing! To say it’s difficult is not even
close to explaining what it’s like- All the symptoms
can hit you when you least expect it- Despair was a
word I often used to describe my feelings- I just had
my Prozac raised from 30 to 40mg (I also take 150mg Welbutrin) and I fear that I may need to raise it more or more frighteningly, change meds- I don’t think I could handle doing that and maintaining my current lifestyle- The first time I did it, I was in a treatment program so my responsibility level was much lower and I had support around me all the time@ Now with my own place, job, etc., I don’t see how I could manage the changeover! I’m sure I’m not the only one who suffers from symptoms surfacing at the job- I’d love to hear how others deal with this
Surfer,
Thank you…suddenly I felt very thankful for my family being so wonderful. My stress level
hasn’t been over the top recently…I’m actually handling it well! I’ve had some nausia, but nothing like
when I started taking some of these.
My family reunion (last week) went better than I expected. We Did have fun!
The Sun has been out and I’ve been spending as much time out as I can. It is another thing
that helps…and better diet…and blah blah blah
sorry…lost control,
thanx
Bruno
Hi
I’m glad to hear you’re handling it well! That’s great news- This stuff is so damn hard! I don’t know, sometimes I feel it’s a curse, and other times I’m grateful that it’s helped me look at my life more truthfully and made me appreciate things more
