I saw him before and have been taking celexa ever since and I also take remeron from my regular doctor for insomnia. We never talked much because I couldn't afford to stay more than a half hour. I am 49 years old, going through menopause, poor, always in pain and am hoping he can show me how to be happy. Ha! Do you think therapy helps and how? Sometimes I wonder if a person really would be better off dead. Thanks for listening and please sent feedback. SThanks for the feedback, and I was on an estrogen patch and was feeling quite chipper except for the constant bleeding. I finally took it off because I was going broke buying feminine Hygiene products. I think I'll try it again but put on a half of patch. Thanks
