Hi Cindy Lou,
Thanks for your reply. I apologize for not answering sooner. My computer has been having major problems that are still not resolved, but I HAD to log onto PB!I tend to have a lot of paradoxical reactions to medications also. It took a while to find a doctor who understood that paradoxical reactions do occur. I got so sick of doctors who'd say, "You can't sleep on Trazodone? I've never heard of that before!"
> Also interesting about your hunger ... I know exactly what you are talking about. However, I get that feeling when I am off meds altogether. It is the worst feeling -- that feeling of NEEDING to eat, of some kind of gnawing hunger but not true hunger -- people would try to tell me it was emotional, but I knew it was something physical. >>
Yes, that Celexa-induced gnawing "hunger" was always accompanied by an edgy feeling and drenching night sweats. It was horrible. And then I'd get the chills.
I am currently still trying to find a tolerable drug combo, but I'm so sensitive to meds and med combinations that I'm having the difficulties I always have. I'm feeling very discouraged these days, but I continue to hope for something that might work.
Again, thanks so much for your help.
Sarah
