How long after quitting Celexa you feel normal again?
My emotions seem to be stunted, except for the occasional wave of depressed emotions... (Jul 6, 2008 | post #1)
Any Comments on Post-Withdrawal Problems?
This area of antidepressants, and withdrawal, is seriously lacking... Anyone have any experience with cardiac problems, etc.? (Jul 2, 2008 | post #1)
Shallow breathing/up heartrate/stress UPON STOPPING?
Nope. I've weaned off INCREDIBLY slow, like by .2 mg each week... It's odd, too, since every time I go down on my dosage (from 1.6 to 1.4 to 1.2), I immediately feel good the first 2 days at lower dosage, then on about Day 10 being down, I hit a wall where all these symptoms flair up, then when I go down another .2 they go away..... And now I'm rambling... (Jul 2, 2008 | post #3)
Shallow breathing/up heartrate/stress UPON STOPPING?
Otherwise, I feel great. Mental clarity is far greater OFF Celexa than on. But since being totally off (9 days now), I feel all the above symptoms... Is this my body trying to re-adjust to no meds? And how long does this take? (Jul 2, 2008 | post #1)
Anyone feel MENTALLY depressed on Celexa, but not emotionally.
I feel dumb, tired, and moody. Otherwise, I'm not hopeless, guilt-ridden, or sad. What's going on here? (Jun 3, 2008 | post #1)
Exhausted! Dr. says to split dose in a.m and p.m.
Hi! I've done what you're thinking of doing, and for me, IT HELPED. But I NEVER did kick the fatigue of being on Celexa - some people don't, so I got off. Good luck, and if you got any questions, shoot em my way. Us fatigued souls gots to stick together! :) (May 22, 2008 | post #2)
Flax Oil OR Fish Oil for Depression? (Celexa not enough...)
When Celexa isn't enough... Using BOTH oils is optimal I assume, but does anyone know for sure which is better for treating depression? It's the EPA and DHA we want, and both have it in abundance... (Apr 30, 2008 | post #1)
I'm on 3 mg now, and getting early morning sunshine which is great. For some reason though, the last few days - with sunshine - I have pretty good energy, but my brow (yah, forehead area) is really heavy and oppressive and kind of weighing my eyes down. So....I don't know anything anymore...but I figure that may mean it's time to lower dosage once again, now to 2 mg. ...boy, am I tired of this bullshit. (Apr 17, 2008 | post #113)
Any websites/forums for people now OFF SSRIs?
I will be going off in the next few weeks, but I'd like to know what I can expect once I'm off. 1 month off, 2 months, etc. How long it will take for side-effects to become no-effects. Whether mental energy will ever return. (yup, SSRI's make me slow and stupid). (Mar 14, 2008 | post #1)
Does detoxing affect medication efficacy?
I'm currently on antidepressants, but would like to do a body detox. Flush the system, colon, etc. If I did this would it negatively affect the amount of pharmaceuticals in my system? I suppose this question can be applied to any using Rx, whether it's for diabetes, cholesterol, etc. (Mar 9, 2008 | post #1)
