Hi, yeah, I got placed back on Celexa yesterday. My PDoc and my MD want me to continue on Depakote at a low dose, but my MD says that I should come in and see him once a week for a little bit just to make sure that my body is adjusting to the Depakote normally. He said that with the amount I'm taking, 375mg per day, that I should not have put on a ton of weight. He said that if I continue to go up, then he'll send me to a BP specialist to see what else we can do.God... I still feel like I'm living in a nightmare though. I'm just constantly praying to my Mom that Eva's boat comes in alright. It's been 8 days now and no word... I really don't think I'm up for another funeral again, especially hers... Both my MD and my PDoc suggested that I take a very large dose of Klonopin for the next few weeks if I don't feel like I'm holding myself together too well. That will give Celexa enough time to kick in and then I can reduce my Klonopin dose.
So there... 2 Doctors have told me now that taking Klonopin, a Benzo, is actually not that bad for you. That I should take as much of it as I feel I need in order to hold myself together untill the AD comes into play.
Anyways, keep praying for my friend Eva. I wouldn't be alive today if it wasn't for her, and I don't know how I'm going to cope with things if she's dead. I know that's a worst case scenario, but right now everything is up in the air and I guess I've got to try and prepare for the worst. At the worst, after the wake/funeral, I think I'm going to need to be hospitalized for a bit.
