This is my second posting...my first talked about a possible allergic reaction to Celexa (blisters on hands/feet, etc.)...turns out it was a skin disorder, allergy to latex, and the beginning of Bell's Palsy. Steroids cured that. I was on the Celexa 10mg. for about a month, then Effexor for a week...now back on Celexa 10mg for past week. My M.D. upped the dose to 20 mg. and also gave me something to help me sleep, Trazodone. I am going through a very difficult time, border-line suicidal over a break-up with my boyfriend of 3 years. It is all bad. My doctor tells me that this medicine will help...I can not believe anything will help at this point...crying for three days, no food and was taking many muscle relaxers to help me get through this. They say no-one is worth taking your life for...but I can not deal with the pain anymore. I do not want to get admitted into a hospital...I have always been a fighter...but this is a challenge to get through...not sure if I am strong enough this time. Has anyone else combined Celexa and Trazodone? I am 37 and never took anti-depressants before for more than a week...although through my teen years tried to commit suicide multiple times. thanks for listening.

You will be OK. Remember, your thoughts create your moods.
Stay on the meds and they will help. Celexa for depression and Trazodone for depression/sleep is a good combination. Don't go off of them or they won't help.
You might want to consider going higher on your Celexa (maybe to 40 mg) or switching to Lexapro (10 mg).
