> Hello Erin,
> I've been taking Celexa, since the middle of September. It has been very gentle to my body. I don't get headaches or GI distress. But best of all, Celexa has helped me to begin reducing the weight I'd gained while on Lithium (it should be outlawed) and Depakote (about as useless a drug as Lithium).
> Also, I'm taking Seroquel(a fabulous antimanic/antipsychotic) and Wellbutrin (another good AD that also helps you lose weight). Plus, I take Clonazepam (it helps keep the lid on when I get manicy, which is often since I'm an ultra-rapid cycler). This cocktail of meds only causes me to have dry mouth. That's it. No serious or distressing side-effects.
> I think you'll be very pleased with your results on Celexa.
> Happy New Year,
> NancyThanks for the positive note on Celexa. Does it make you sleepy? Should I take it @ night or in the morning? I'm hopeful this will be a positive change for me as well! Many Thanks! Erin
