> > I didn't take any Celexa today and I feel much *less* revved up and HOT. I probably should have asked the pdoc first...But I do have ECT tomorrow, so I thought it would be OK to drop it out of the line up. If I crashed, at least I would have something to get me back on track.

But clearly it has some impact, because I am not sweating much today at all. Interesting Mitch that you sweat the most on Celexa. I found it to be one of the better one's for me, prozac and zololt being the worst. But Celexa+Cytomel seems to really stoke my furnace.

> Chloe, you might want to "work in" what you are doing in your conversation to your pdoc so she will be on the same page. I remember when I was on a dexedrine trial back in the Spring and easily went several days between a tiny Celexa dose of about what you normally take (1.25mg approx.). If you feel like you "need" to take a tiny dose of Celexa, don't feel that you have thrown it out for good-esp. if you are getting a mild withdrawal from it. Perhaps if you told your pdoc you want the Celexa *available*, but would like to see if you could do without it?? It is true-I sweated on that med more than anything else ever! Effexor causes almost as much sweating, but not clearly DRIPPING underarms! ;)--MitchHi Mitch
Interesting you should mention this. Because I did feel what I thought might be a slight withdrawl last night about 7 pm. So I took .5 mgs of Celexa. And about 2 hours later(like you experienced) I was starting to feel quite warm. I was afraid I might not be able to sleep, but I found myself more tired than ever. I went to bed early and slept soundly until about 7 am. I really hate that we changed the clocks back, because I don't know if I am waking up earlier due to these meds, or b/c we put the clocks back an hours. Really annoys me, every year!
Anyway today I have ECT and I hope I will be able to talk to the edoc about this Cytomel+Celexa thing. They have been so busy and overwrought at the clinic that my appointment at 10 am last week did not start until 2 pm. So needless to say I had no time to talk to the edoc...It was really hard to wait that long. They better be more organized today.
AND I don't know what I should do about the Cytomel this morning. I am thinking 5 mgs is too much. I feel a bit caffeinated this am, and I haven't had anything to eat or drink since last night. I could try 2.5 mgs, but the pill kinda turned to dust when I split it. But maybe I will wait till after the treatment. But I read that you are supposed to take T3 at the *same time* every day. And on an empty stomach, do you know if this is true? If I wait till after the treatment it will be sometime in the afternoon, several hours after my regular time. But if I am a little wired anyway, it's probably best to wait anyway. I am a bit shaky and revved up, but now high at all.
Hopefully I will feel better this after noon.
Later
Chloe
