societys_glitch Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I am just starting on Celexa(Citalopram) today. I did a bunch of web crawling last night and it seems to do a good job alleviating anxiety, which would be a nice change of pace. Depression is a bit hit and miss, but I am trying not to be pessimistic. "Positive thinking leads to positive results." I am feeling very anxious about starting this after what I went through with the Seroquel. I took the Celexa at 10am and I am hoping the "drowsy" side effect will miss me...lol! I am already always tired and my husband thinks I am lazy, like I need THIS to make it worse. Ohhhh! There's that "stinkin' thinkin'" again! If anyone can share some of their experiences with Celexa 20mg 1x/day as well as Trazodone 50mg @ bedtime for insomnia, I would greatly appreciate it. I am more of a natural girl and tend to try to stay away from lab meds but I need my head back and natural remedies are ungodly expensive. I need to unlock my head as I feel I am trapped all the time. Thank you! GLITCH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarn Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I don't remember my dosage but Celexa was not sedating for me. (Quite the opposite, in fact) Hopefully it won't be too sedating for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
societys_glitch Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 I am hoping it will be the opposite for me. No sedation effect that is. Paxil did that for me but I would only sleep for an hour or 2 and then I was back to bouncing off the walls. I hope this will be a happy medium. 6 months of being "me" again sounds absolutely wonderful. 2 years ago I was able to clean my home, care for my 2 children as well as my 17 y/o stepson and my malamute. I was able to focus and remember and get out of bed before the sun. I was organised and able to keep up with my life. This was with no meds but following Native Spirituality and rituals. (sounds corny but it worked) alot of color therapy. I think alot of the problem now is I live in a POS trailer that is falling apart and I have a lazy landlord that wont do anything. I miss my garden tub and my 2 bathrooms and my water pressure and the list goes on. I know it sounds selfish and materialistic but I was HOME! But this place makes me insane! I can only polish a turd so much, ya know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
