CT came out negative, but something was definitely wrong

[melissa743]

A few years ago, I was having a twisting feeling in my chest after taking Celexa.  During that time, I had a really intense pain in my right arm and neck- I literally couldn't move my arm or neck without feeling terrible pain.  That same night I felt a weird, indescribable feeling in the middle of my head and simultaneously my eyes opened.  The next thing I know I felt this electric shock go down from my neck to my legs.  I couldn't move anything but my neck for two days.  For a period of time, my speech was slurred and I had trouble putting together sentences.  People had trouble understanding what I was saying. I even had trouble remembering relatives, crossing the street, distinguishing the difference between sizes, and putting batteries into a remote. Years have gone by and I am now able to function-but not the same.
     Two to three years after the incident, I got a CT and MRI scan from a workman's comp doctor that came out negative. Yet I can't believe nothing is wrong.  I want to find out what happened and why.  Can you offer any suggestions? Thank you

Well....I would just tell the physician your symptoms and not mention anything about the Celexa then.

There is no need for you to mention your psych issues.....at least I wouldn't unless pressed to.

Honestly, I am concerned that the doctor will not take me seriously because I was on the drug Celexa

Sounds like some type of adverse reaction to Celexa.

Why not get another MRI done?
