In reply to Celexa - hesitant to start, posted by Hannah on March 12, 1999, at 23:38:39
> My doctor recently prescribed me celexa for depression and I am petrified to start taking it (I';ve had it for about three weeds now and have been trying to talk myself into starting it). I have never taken an antidepressant before and had been feeling like my moodiness was just a part of who I was now and that I had lost touch with "how to feel happy". My moods go up and down, but for the last couple of years my down periods have been far outweighing my ups. I am afraid of the side effects since sleepiness has been one of my problems and I have children to keep up with. If anyone could give me feedback with any of their experiences with celexa it would be greatly appreciated!
Hannah-
You're gonna hate this BUT - you are the only one
who can tell you what an AD (Celexa) will do to/for you.
Obviously your "lows" are now interfering with the quality
of your life and you've made the first step to
taking charge of that. Fantastic! But look at what has
happened, 3 weeks have slipped away. Three weeks
of information that could help you in dealing
with your depression. If after reading this list (and
you have the benefit of many knowledgable persons here)
you are still concerned, then you must contact your
Doc and discuss your fears. Don't worry - that's their
job! Best of luck and get well!
