Hi, guys - I've been taking 5 mg of Citalopram (Celexa) for just over a week. My doctor started me at that dose and said I probably would not feel anything because it was so low - it was just to get me 'used' to it, as I was very afraid of taking meds. I'm also taking 2mg Valium, half in the am. and half at night. I take the Celexa in the am.
At first, I felt nothing - was like huh? This rocks - I don't feel it. Now, when I wake up, my hands are really sore, and I sort of 'ache' all over. I also get very tired. If I lie down on my bed at alll, during the day, I'm done - I just stay there. The biggest change is just an overwhelming feeling of I don't give a ****. They should call this stuff Fukitol because that's how I feel. Not depressed / sad, upset, just Blah - it takes more energy and motivation for me to get up and do my work, and takes longer as sometimes, I feel like I'm in slow-mo. I don't know if this is due to the Valium, the Celexa or neither - any ideas? Thanks.
