The search feature is at the top of the page - just above "previous periods".

I experienced various withdrawal symptoms when I stopped the Celexa. I know what it feels like to cry all the time. Tina's advice sounds very reasonable. It's easy for me to say, but try to take it easy. Know that there is hope for you to feel better.

> I wish there was a "search" feature for posts made on this board. Maybe there is and I missed it. I can't help but think there are posts in the archives that would help answer your questions. Maybe if you have some time, try looking through the recent archives utilizing your browsers "find" feature. Looking for posts about the particular meds you're taking might provide you with some insight.

> > my question is this: i've been back on the zoloft for just over 2 weeks, and i'm still not at the dosage he wants me at, so i know i'm not at max dosage. how long will it be before the zoloft kicks in? i had heard that it could take up to 12 weeks to kick in, but i was thinking that since i had been taking an SSRI and the serotonin should still be there, wouldn't it take less time to kick in? could my system be all screwed up right now because i was on different meds for short periods of time?

> > as of yesterday, my pdoc added a small dose of BuSpar to my diet in the hopes that it will give the serotonin a kick. does it sound like i'm on the right track here and should be feeling better soon? i don't only deal with depression but OCD as well and they both like to taunt me at the same time, so i'm basically miserable. i was feeling much better last week and we went on a short vacation, but now i don't want to get out of bed and i want to cry all the time. i don't understand whats happening to me or why.
