Caleb, just the dude I was hoping would respond!
Check this out...I don't get this at all....Dr. Heller said that the ssri's all can raise, or overstimulate, the 5HT1a receptor site.....now, I found this info on Celexa AND Zoloft where it said that neither showed an effect at the 5HT1 site (I'm pretty sure I interpreted that right but I'm NOT sure)....HOW CAN THAT BE? Could you tell me what Celexa AND Zoloft each do at that 5HT1a site?McPac... have you thought about adding a mild sedative or anxiotylic to your regimen in order to lessen the anger on Zoloft? Neurontin perhaps? Or maybe Gabitril?
>>>>>>>I've thought about Klonopin; but I KNOW that the Zoloft causes/exacerbates this problem and IF I could substitute the Zoloft for, perhaps Celexa, and NOT get that anger s/e then I might not even NEED the Klonopin....I'd like to try without it first.
Did you have anger problems with Anafranil? Just curious.
>>>>>>>>>>>>NO!! And I don't know why (I would have thought its effects would be very similar to Zoloft but I've had different effects between the two meds....but NO anger at all from Anafranil...go figure???
Or maybe try using Niacinamide?
>>>>>>>>>>I can't (long story) take niacinamide.
At this point I really don't care what s/e's Celexa would cause as long as I don't get this anger-induced crap! Would Lexapro have even LESS s/e's than Celexa (isn't it 'supposed' to?) ANY truth to Lexapro having less s/e's...due to the fact that I believe you only need a LOWER DOSE?
ANY help is appreciated!
