I absolutely know for *100%* sure that the celexa has started this problem I am having.
From the second week of starting it I started to have muscle spasms. The doctor said this was a possable side effect but to keep taking medication. Anyhow over the past 3 years it has progressed. My head twiches 6X/minaute, I have twiches in my arm muscles and legs much more frequently than this too. If I close my eyelids my eyes vibrate up and down and left to right.
At night while I am lying there all my muscles convulse at once BOOM!I absolutely know it is the antidepressant since when I stop taking it (which I have experimentally done on a number of ocassions) it all ceases within a few days.
However, since I am addicted to the stuff I cannot stop taking it. So I still have pop theese pills like a smoker dying of lung cancer continues to smoke ciagarrettes.
I personally know of a few others who have had similar reactions.

I tried a 4month tapering scheme where I would disolve the citalopram in a fixed amount of water, and then let a little more water out each day. No matter how slow I went, the symptoms withdrawl would slowly start up, and never subside.

Link; I thought you were doing better too. At least you have sounded better on some of your other Posts I have read. How about the Benadryl and Prozac other Posters talk about to help with W/D? I don't know. Just a thought. Phillipa P.S. Crazychick, I thought coffee and sweets were helping you also?

With all those physical side effects I would think it would be effecting you emotionally, but I'm glad it's not? Are you still up for adoption? Phillipa

I'm sorry. Do you get out and do things or just stay in? Does the Xanax help if you do go out? Phillipa

Crazychick; What are you doing to stay calm? Are you at home with your daughter? Are you going to take any meds if the pdoc says you should? Maybe something else for anxiety. I don't know what else you can get rx'd for you in the Uk. Phillipa

Try neroli oil, I like it much better than lavender. It's also more expensive though :-(

Hello!
Neroli oil is the fragrant essential oil which comes from the blossoms of the Seville orange tree. It is named after an Italian Princess called Neroli.
Neroli oil smells very nice and so it's widely used in perfumery and aromatherapy. In aromatherapy, Neroli is used to treat depression and anxiety because it is both calming and uplifting. If you like the smell you would probably find it relaxing- you can put a few drops in the bath. It is more expensive than lavender oil, you can buy it from Holland and Barrett. Be sure to find out whether you like the smell before you buy any!
> dO u know of spect scans in the uk? i know theres some serious damage in my brain caused by meds..
I am not sure which hospitals do SPECT scans.
