In reply to Quit Celexa after 5wks-day 3 on Prozak -Questions-, posted by Brenda on January 10, 1999, at 0:16:41
I answered one of your postings up above, but I just realized (!) that the more recent ones are down here.
I'm sorry the Celexa didn't work for you. The variery of responses different people have to different drugs puzzles me ... For me, Paxil was no good, Wellbutrin made me more depressed (almost ended up in the hospital), Effexor started out okay, then seemed to wear off. Zyprexa adde to the Effexor worked well, but started weight gain & rampant appetite, and gave me Carpal Tunnel Syndrome! (There's no mention of it in any literature... all I know is that it came and went with the Zyprexa!) We kept increasing the dose of Effexor, but over a period of a year I gained a lot of weight. So
now I'm on Celexa and it seems okay.
But I've read all kinds of different results from different people, and all kinds of side effects (or suspected side effects) and it makes me nervous about the whole medication thing... does anyone really know anything, or is it all guesswork?
Good luck getting the Prozac to kick in... I'm no professional, but maybe it'll pick up some of the momentum in pooling Seratonin started by the Celexa.
