> I took 10 mgs. last night and went to bed around 10.30. Woke around 2.30 with heart racing and adrenaline rush and have been up since, thouugh tired. Went to bed feeling down (which is why I decided to take another shot at Celexa after laying an initial run aside a couple of weeks after questioning the side effects). Strangely I awoke with a smile on -- good dream I guess -- though it quickly went away as fatigue set back in but sleep isn't coming only yawns and weariness...

> My para-sympathetic system seens to be screwed with or without ADs. Often, hot when others are cool. Chilled when others are warm. Tired despire 6-8 hours sleep. Hard to figure which situation is worse....Both suck.
I started on celexa 20mg for a week -5 weeks ago and then to celexa 40mg for the last 4 weeks. Side affects are perspriring when I do practically anything, hard to sleep, feel lethargic most of time. I do have a spurt of energy now and then for maybe a half a day.
My depression is better but I'm rarely comfortable with my thoughts. When I can't sleep, I have crummy thoughts -they just don't get me down as much.
I have been messing with ads for 15 yrs and this is almost too tough. I see my dr tomorrow -maybe I should try 20mg celexa a day instead of 40.
Any encouraging words out there or any other kind for that matter?
