Citalopram - Any success stories
Hello ive just started taking these tablets so i know the effects of the medication wont start right away but was just interested into any success stories people have had so i can see light at the end of the tunnel x
Lots of people hate Celexa because it didn't do the job, but here is my cheery story of relief.
A year ago I was in a depression that only meds could bring me out of. I went on Wellbutrin for 2 months, and got only mild relief (while taking ativan in the morning and afternoon) until about 4 pm each day, when the fog would come in a rush and there was no way to fight it without more ativan. Celexa gave me a break from my depression, and as my doctor predicted, it allowed me to remember what it felt like to be happy again.
Until I took Celexa I assumed there would never be anything but fighting depression each minute of my life because that is what I did from October until February. I can remember trying to stretch out the periods each day between the ativan use until the feelings seemed unbearable then choking one or 2 down, all in a futile hope to be strong enough to break through the 4 pm meltdowns when the day's Wellbutrin started wearing away. At 4 PM, a sudden chill of black would come in and every minute I tried fighting it was a strain on my stomach, to name only one problem. My doc said it was unlikly that I would get an ulcer while receiving some benefit from an SSRI, but the fear and stomach pain were enough to make me doubt I would avoid the breaking point.
Once Celexa parted my clouds, I never looked back and enjoyed each minute. I have been off it for 3 weeks, as I am happy almost 100% of each day. Maybe even 100%.
