In reply to CELEXA CHANGES -GOOD TO BAD AFTER 1 MONTH, posted by angel1 on June 5, 2002, at 5:21:07
> Hi,
> I was on Celexa 30mgs until yesterday. I was doing well with it until a couple days ago I noticed it was making me really sleepy and apathetic, and I felt more depressed. Prior to this mood, I felt the best I have ever felt. What the heck is going on? I might add I was taking this in combo with 50mg Desipramine which I am still taking. I plan on weaning myself down and off Celexa. Any similar experiences or input appreciated. Thanks.Hi angel1,
I was just increaased on my Celexa from 20 to 30 with plans from my pdoc to eventually go to 40. I aslo had my Risperdal increased slightly.I also have been really sleepy. Just woke up from sleeping from 6 pm, Friday after work, woke up at 11:30 pm, was up for an hour to read and eat sandwich, went back to bed about 12:30 and slept again till 7 am this morning. Yikes!!
Do not know about the weight gain yet, but I suppose if you are sleeping more and moving less, you will gain weight.Also, have been MORE depressed and irritable, maybe we have to wait untill we are on the full dose and the side effects wear off? Or till tht new drug comes out?
