Celexa is making me a zombie, continue or quit?

Posted by Enigma on April 11, 2006, at 15:07:46

My doctor, in plain words, is an idiot, and seems to care almost nothing for her patients, or what she does for a living.

With that, I've been on Celexa for about 3 weeks now. I have severe atypical depression.

Started slow, 5 mg for 4 days. Then 10 mg for 2 weeks, then 20 mg for the past 4-5 days. I was getting tired during the day before, but when I went to 20, I'm exhausted all day and I feel absolutely 0 benefit from the drug. It's even given me some anxiety.

I already have sleep problems, which I'll get into in another message, but I *do* sleep a solid 7-8 hours a night, and currently on disability.

Should I dump this drug altogether? Taper down?
I will call my "doctor", but I already know what she'll say, since she could care less that I'm suffering. She'll just say, textbook style, give it a month, and see what happens, or worse yet, go up on the dosage, which will probably have me asleep all day (which I will refuse to do).

Bah. I need EMSAM now.
