> I have also noticed that I'm clenching my teeth more and for the last week I've been waking up every day with a slight headache.
Wow, I just wanted to comment that I have felt the clenched teeth thing as well. I have associated it with the nausea I feel as well, and the teeth clenching as a way of dealing with it. I don't know, but I catch myself unconciousless clenching my jaw. I wish I could comment on the headache part, but I have woken up with headaches for as long as I can remember, although caffeine and excedrin have been all I've needed for them (perhaps I am dependent on caffeine, as I drink coca cola every day).
I have not noticed any apathy, however. I have actually noticed an interest in talking to others (strange, isn't it, as I am usually quite antisocial). I am also taking Celexa to treat panic disorder. I generally don't see myself as depressed, but I do have panic/anxiety attacks randomly and enough to disrupt my life. I did, however, at one time have clinical depression, so I can relate to how awful depression is, and what a hole it is to be in. At the time, I was prescribed prozac, 20mg per day. I had no side effects with prozac at all, except initially it took longer to be satisfied sexually (although libido was not hurt at all!) I stayed with prozac for about 2 years. I stopped taking it when I felt I didn't need it to maintain mental health. I have rarely fallen into the same kind of depression I felt daily before prozac. I wonder why the doctor prescribes Celexa and not prozac? What are their differences? Anyone?
