hey girleee well antidepressants are a funny drug.....im bi/polar so ive had my share of them but my experience with celexa has been a positive one im on 1/2 a 10mg pill
and it has been working for 2 yrs for me.....right now im 6 days into detoxing off
methadone and my world is full of anxiety and seams a bit dark right at the moment
im thinking of asking my phyc dr to up it to a full pill this week but dont want to jump the gun...I want to give it time so i get all the way threw my detox...+ in my case two mutch
can send me into a manic episode thats why im on such a low dose ...my advise is give it a chance it took a good 2 weeks b/4 it did annything for me but it keeps me balanced it has proved to me to be one of the better antidepressants out there
CUDOS on 9 days clean and best of luck Gnarly
As we know Ad's are not for everyone, cymbalta has worked wonders for me. I just couldn't get past the depression and fatique.
Sounds like you have a good plan in place and doing well. Good Luck to you!!!!
Thank you I guess it is worth a shot to try the celexa. Lee what are you doing for your depression? I was given the xanex a couple of years ago and really never took them. I was worried about the addiction of them now also I dont want to trade one addiction for another. I gave them to my husband to hold on to. I actually feel good today, so far I guess its still early only 540am here but I slept good for once...actually 6 straight hours!!! thats a record so far..lol Thanks for the encouragement!!!
PS....Today starts day10!!!
SSRIs never worked for me either, also watch out as weight gain is common with them. Xanax can be a prob for anyone and certainly an addict at day 9, be carefull, but also stay active in depression recovery as well, depression is a horrible condition, I suffer with it as well and understand you tryin to get help, keep up all the good work, you are doin great : )
Hey there!
Congrats on your 9 days of freedom!
As you said, everybody is different and what concerns AD's everybody is VERY different. I took citalopram (celxa) and it did absolutely nothing like all SSRI's I tried...
Just give it a shot, give it the time to kick in, it take up to 4 weeks for some ppl.
Watch out with the xanax, it's a highly addictive benzo and you sure don't wanna taper those off.
Best of luck to you.
