In reply to went off my meds..was a bad idea....back on them., posted by T~ on September 9, 2000, at 10:10:39
> being treated for depression for 4 weeks. i am taking 30 mg of celexa. i got the brainy idea i was cured and why the heck do i need MEDS! so i decided to go off them for two days......bad bad idea. dont know if i was going thru withdrawals or if my depression came back like someone openned the flood gates.!!?
> i feel dazed somewhat calmer but agitated on meds,
> i dont feel like a tightly wound ball of wire ready to burst anymore, not quite a 'zombie' but sorta in a peaceful non feeling state. OUCH! dont know how else to explain it but you all you that suffer from depression, you will know what i am trying to get at.You hit the nail on the head. Calm yet agitated. Exactly what I feel. I know EXACTLY what it feels like. I like to be calm and all, but I haven't lost my ability to get angry or frustrated or irritated. Hense, we are not zombies. My brain feels like it floats a little, but I like it. Makes my day a little more interesting. By the way, trazodone is great for me. My doctor wanted to try Prozac but I knew a guy who was on it and he walked around with his yap yapping (talk talk talk) never ever shutting up, and he chewed gum ferociously, like a mad cow. And I said, Yo what are you on?? And he said Prozac. And I said, wow I'll NEVER go on that. He'd tell total strangers about his most personal stuff in his life, his finances, it was like, hey don't tell people that stuff! Anyway, stick with your medication, give it a chance, depression can stay with you for a long time, let your doctor decide when you should try to fly on your own. How bad is your depression?
