Thanks Paul & Scott-
When Celexa worked for me (only 1 or 2 weeks) it was
almost magical. No other AD ever had this effect.1) the bad thoughts, obsessive thoughts, ruminations,
were mostly quiet. If they were noticeable at all,
it was way in the background.2) This is the magical part for me. When these
thoughts made it to the forefront of my mind, unbidden, I
could easily push them away.3) Even more magical. I could, at will, bring one
of these thoughts/issues/whatever to the forefront
of my mind, look at it, analyze it, work on it,
put it away again, all the while being master of
my mind and easily able to not let the thoughts
engulf or overwhelm me. I could even visualize the
process. The 'bad thoughts', unresolved issues,
stressors, were stored in boxes and files in the
recesses of my mind. I visualized placing them there,
out-of-sight, out-of-mind. I visualized reaching
back to get one out to examine, and when thru, putting
it back in storage.If this effect of Celexa had continued, I'd still
be taking it. It was a novel experience to feel so
clear-headed and in control of my thoughts. It was
damned exhilerating.............. I just read what I have written, and
help me out folks, SERIOUSLY, does it sound delusional
or schizo? Or do normal people have the ability
to do what I have described? I'd really like some
opinions/facts/personal realities on this.Thanks
