> Kathy, I found Celexa really good. 40mg made the world look good to live in again. It was okay to get up in the morning and face the day.Little things no longer sent me over the top. I was also able to make use of some cognitive behavioural therapy which also helped, especially thought stopping and reframing negative thoughts ie looking at the glass as though it is half full, not half empty.
> Pills can take away the responsibility for making changes to ones own life, it is important to find the right coach to help with this.I really like what Alex said about Celexa's helping "little things no longer make him go over the top." The more I read on this bullletin board, the more I wonder if Celexa ought to be classed as a special treatment for agitated depression, which is the type I suffer (along with a neuromuscular disease). When I'm in "that state", forget the glass. There IS no glass. Everything is a crisis, everything must be solved right then, and worry and anxiety become the order of the day. Yet, two medications so far have helped that.
I woke up one morning when I was taking Paxil, several years ago, and realized I no longer had the "clatter" in my head. Not voices, mind you.....I'm not psychotic. Just daily "you must do this or that" type or clatter. Things that really could have waited while I went out for a walk or a swim. It was the most astounding feeling. The only problem was, I slept---very nearly around the clock. Not necessarily because it made me sleepy, but because I *could* (part of taking responsibility again). I hadn't slept in soooo long and it felt so good. I also have a sleeping disorder.
Finally had to go off Paxil for that reason. I have been on Celexa 20 mg for three months, and have noticed a distinct decrease in crying spells, and an ability to get started and organized. Nothing amazing, like the Paxil quiet. Yet. I just went up to 40 mgs three days ago, and slept from 0930 yesterday morning to 1515, and 1800 to just now. So I cut back to 30 mg for a week or two, and we'll see how that goes. I've notice a definite drop in anxiety level since starting on 40 mg, a drop in internal "barmometric pressure". :-)
As one who has had to be on one antidepressant or another since 1988 for unipolar, endogenous (biological) agitated and occasionally fearful depression, I'd like to pass on that it takes times for antidepressants to work. Some longer than others. Only Paxil worked quickly. I was on Zoloft the longest, but, like someone said, it just stopped working, and that happens. So just give it time---I can almost guarantee you'll have side effects at first, but they almost always pass. If they don't after a few months, or are a danger to driving, etc., call your doctor immediately.I hope I've helped someone. Just the voice of experience.

Hi all. I just need to unburden a bit if you don't mind. I have been on one anti-depressant or another for six years or so. I aparently have borderline personality disorder with bouts of major depression. I am a 38 year old university student (yay for me...). Anyway, I've tried all the SSRI's which all quit working or made me sleep all the time. Now I'm on Celexa since last summer--took 20, then up to 30 when we moved and I was super-stressed, then up to forty cuz I was weepy all the time and panicky. Now, I sleep every chance I get. My school work gets done, but I do no more of anything than is absolutely necessary, and I would rather sleep than just about anything. My doctor is hesitant to take me off them because I am getting my work done and my self-esteem is fair (in some areas anyway). But "I don't care" is my motto, and I have absolutely no control over my eating or exercize habits. I've had a half-headache since Christmas (which I forgot to mention to my Dr., cuz I'm so used to it) and my weight is creeping up at a steady pace. I am 4'10" and weighed a pudgy 120 when I began medication forever ago, now I weigh 145 with no end in sight--my doctor is singularly unconcerned about my weight I might add. I've had thyroid hormone blood tests which were fine. My eating is sporadic, but not really excessive, though I do eat in the middle of the night when I wake up after those weird nightmares that leave me all sweaty. I am at least able to cry. The last medication I was on (and I forget which it was) took away any emotions stronger than "I don't like spinach". I don't want to be "crazy" again, I'll be graduating in August, and I need my brain for work, but I can't live like this--I have no control, and my weight is beginning to really affect my health (asthma, decreased agility, not to mention embarassment to be seen by anyone). What do I do? Any suggestions?

Valley Girl,
I thought this might be worth sharing. At times when I have have been at rock bottom, and NOTHING else seems to work, I have just turned the situation over to a higher power. I make a decision to the the higher power handle it. I have found this works for any situation for me. I have certain scriptures that I have as ones I particularly like. I take them like medicine----hourly, daily, or whatever I decided the dose to be. As with other medicines, it may not seem to work at first, but after a while, an amazing peace sets in. If you want me to post some of these particular scriptures that have been my favorites, just let me know. I DO NOT see your situation as just not trying hard enough like some of the other people that are on here. I do hope that someday soon the black cloud will lift for you and you'll feel much better.

Our parents selfishly put us here for their egotistical or plain stupid reasons and now we're stuck. Life sucks and then you die. But for me you don't die soon enough, you get dragged through hell for what purpose? So you can die! Believe me, I have researched mental health, physical and psychic (I am extremely intutitive and empathic). I thought this was my problem, because I react to everyones emotions around me. I hate knowing what other people think and what is going to happen to them. I have tried, through various methods, to get control of this "gift". Say what you want. I have been there and done that. I am just sick of it all. I am on meds. I have tried natural, homeopathic you name it. Nothing works for me. I am glad that others benefit from meds and positive attitudes. Depression, is what is here for me in this life. I guess I am suppose to learn something from it. Sorry for being such a downer. I can only see the yucky underside of the rock, not the beautiful shiney side!

Valley: I can join you completely in your definition of life, and the absence of "happiness" and knowing that most people don't understand at all. I feel very much the same way, and have since I was quite young. I am not terribly empathic (reading people), but I am ultra sensitive to slight nuances in behaviors, "disruptions in the force" if you will.
A survival technique I learned at home.I personally am tired of people --just about everyone --dispensing their personal theories on how I should behave/eat/exercise/go to their church/ etc. in order to not be depressed. I think my depression is biological, like diabetes or a thyroid condition. So those kindly suggestions of "why not get off your meds for a while, maybe you won't feel depressed anymore" are just ignored. And I tell them what I think.
I think it is good to hang in there, and do try the meds (give them a chance, because it could bring you from black pit to having your head above ground again). My meds don't keep me happy, they keep me not-suicidal, which is an improvement.
As far as "happiness" I have a pretty liberal definition: if things aren't horrible on all fronts, it's ok. Or, if my head is above water, I'm ok.
In terms of "happiness".....Delightful moments are what I have. Like moments of amusement inspired by nature (standing still watching a couple of squirrels go up and around a tree, full speed ahead) or a moment on Sat. morning when I realize I can sleep in and I am so GRATEFUL. I like humor also.
I am aware of the occasional little good things, but I would not say "I'm a happy person" and I pretty much agree that life sucks, and is also unfair.
I have determined to stick it out. I hope you do, too.
Good luck - Shar

So I have been reading all of the posts about Celexa and now I don't know if I want to start taking it. I have been on and off many other antidepressants, and I could hardly tolerate their side effects. Perhaps I just need to "Bite the bullet" for a few weeks? Or should I truly consider med-free? I've been as such for about 4 years. I already feel like I don't care about anything, I don't need Celexa to make me feel that way. Any insights? Thanks!

In reply to Reluctant to take Celexa, posted by Melly on April 16, 2000, at 21:46:37
If anyone wants to spot me a few doses of their Celexa, I will be glad to share with you all how it makes me feel. But I will never create a record of accepting a prescription and if some court agency wants to cram it down my throat they will have a rather ugly fight on their hands.
But otherwise, I am with Valley Girl. Who cares if I am happy or not? I don't and frankly it is nobody elses business. If someone doesn't like my frowning face, maybe they should consider some of the things that make it that way rather than telling me I should take a pill and cheer up. Apparently hating people for their skin color is out of style, so frowning faces are the new boogie man of choice. I agree that some people are born predisposed to the conditions that are called depression, and I bet I am one of them. But my condition is one of sometimes flat emotion and othertimes a wide dynamic range of emotion - it becomes depression when people around me start complaining that I am not sharing in their manic, hyper-joyous dillusion of who we all are. If people want to live like gods, that is there business. They seem to enjoy my work and my insight, when they don't have to go home with me, or spend to much time plumbing the dark depths of my unreformed soul.
Natural things give me a sense of belonging. That might be called happiness, but I don't equate it with this stupid grin I see on all the faces around me. Frankly, I think the pdocs are giving pills to the wrong people. They should be giving wake-up pills to all the happy people so they would understand that 1/2 of the world's six billion people live on less than $2 a day and the roses they enjoy smelling so much will likely be extinct next year because the bees that polinate them are dying, along with the frogs, the monarch butterflies and hundreds of other species that never saw fit to introduce themselves to humankind.
I hope no one sees this as a hostile post. I can block this kind of transmission, but I think that is what all the suicide prevention people are trying to avoid - people like me turning themselves off, which is a likely choice if noone cares to share our honest appraisal.
Don't worry, though, I think there is a huge market for this kind of honesty, as long as one sugar coats it, as I have learned to do. Sorry, i just was out of sugar today.
Live on, Valley Girl.

Although, I'm a little worried I am gaining weight because of it, which is what brought me to the message board. Aside from that, Celexa has been a wonder drug for me. I have not had any negative side effects and I feel great! (I just hope it isn't making me gain weight, because I have quite an appetite lately.) I have taken Wellbutrin & Prozac with some success and Serzone which was really, really bad. As far as a success story - I would highly recommend Celexa.

May jaw still feels tight every once and a while, but it's gotten much better-- so have the rest of the side effects. Hope this helps-- Michele

I've been on Celexa (20 mg) for almost eight months. For me, it has been a wonder drug. I really don't experience any side effects to speak of (although when I tried to up the dose to 40 mg) it made me very very sleepy. My attitude has improved 100%, my outlook is more positive, and slowly but surely I am making small but important changes in my life, exercising more, moving to a nicer place, etc., and the best news of all, I have been dating someone quite wonderful since December.
I tried Prozac at two different times in the past, 4 to 6 months each time. The best thing about Prozac was the immediacy and intensity of its effect (it was like the world went from black and white to color in a matter of days). Celexa's effect was much more gradual and subtle. I did experience an increase in self-confidence on Prozac, but no accompanying desire to really better my life, just no longer caring about not having achieved much of anything. And then the really bad thing about Prozac for me were some of the paradoxical effects. It made me very sleepy (I would sleep nine or ten hours a night on it, and still have a hard time getting up in the morning) and I GAINED weight. I know they say that's not supposed to happen, but the first time I took Prozac my weight went from 105 to about 120 in six months. I did lose about 5 pounds when I stopped taking it, but I've never lost that other 10 lbs. When I took it again (for only four months), again my weight started to creep up, but I stopped it, because I really didn't want to experience another permanent weight gain.
I went to a psychiatrist this time around with the hopes of being placed on Welbutrin, but she is one of these doctors who doesn't like Welbutrin, and suggested Celexa. It's been (for me) really wonderful.
Hope this is helpful. EVeryone responds so differently to these medications!!

Hi Dave...I'm not an authority on ADs , but I also took Celexa and wondered what dose you were taking. I started at 10mg for a week (went to 20mg sooner because 10mg made so tired) then to 20mg within 4 days and stayed on 20mg for over a month. By 5 weeks going into 6 I felt unmotivated, had to desire to even talk in therapy and had an overall sense of "well, this is it" then the docs booted me to 40mg and by the second weekof that I was feeling quite good. The only reason I have stopped is because Celexa gave me insomnia that I strugled to combat well. I think it is a very good drug for some and I am not thrilled I had to get off it. I have found, at least for me, that dosing is critical with these things. Ihope this has shed a little light on the area for you and that ou are feeling better. Take care. Jacquie

Going down this board, I've seen a rainbow of side effects, from weight gain to weight loss, sleepiness to insomnia, apathy to renewed vigor. I've taken a few handful of SSRIs over the past 6 years or so and I'm wondering I anyone can offer any comparisons.
The most effective med I've yet taken has been Prozac, specfically when combined with Klonopin. It seemed the perfect match to alleviate my anxiety while boosting me up. I tried Paxil, which I compare to eating peanuts if peanuts gave you sexual side effects. I've also tried Serzone, which was an awful drug for me. It kept me up at nights, gave me twitches and chills that felt like petite mal seizures, and offered no relief from symptoms. Today, after a month of wending through "therapy" (Try breathing differently!?) I finally got to see a doc. He offered this Celexa. Whatever. These SSRIs are all starting to sound like new sedans.
Anyway, the doc gives me the choice between Celexa and some other drug. What can I expect here? By the way, this doc has problems with and won't prescribe Prozac (Too many unmetabolized somethings) or Klonopin (Some people have seizures if they go off it quickly). After having to wait so long to find a doc (I live in NYC and believe me, those sofas are harder to reserve than box seats on Broadway)I just want to start something. I don't want to wait weeks to get what I need. So I'm trying this.
Can anyone respond to this half-question, half-rant post?

Tina,
Any side effects that I did have while on Zoloft, seem to be very mild compared to the beneficial effects that I recieved from taking it. Originally, the health professionals said that there were NO withdrawal symptoms. I found otherwise, and now everyone is saying yes there are withdrwal symptoms. Mine were, again, mild compared to the benefits. Just be sure to taper if you come off of it. I did notice a decrease in sex drive----that really wasn't a problem for me, though,since I am not involved with anyone in that way. Also, especially at first,
I felt sleepy a lot. But it was almost kind of nice. Kind of a relaxing feeling. I definitely had an increase in thirst, and dry mouth. Zoloft really put me in a different place mentally, though. Problems that had been on my mind for years, I seemed to be able to not think about (unless I wanted to). Everything about life seemed to take on a whole new color for me. I hope you have good results with Zoloft, or anything else that you decide to try.

For some reason when nite time comes I feel good, alert, and like I have it all together.Just making it through the majority of the day is really hard though.Im kind of wondering if I should stop taking it.I read that men have sexual problems while on celexa. I have noticed the past couple of days when i have become sexually aroused, I dont seem to get a full erection, and it doesnt last very long.I was wondering if this problem will persist while on celexa? If somebody knows the answer to my problem, could you get back to me. thanks Rictis
