After the doctors made 2 terrible mistakes with my meds, I had to withdrawal from 3 psych meds 2 weeks ago. On Monday my doctor put me back on celexa 5mg to start. I feel horrible. Can't sleep. Wake up with the quiets and jitters inside of me. My heart rate is through the roof. I cry everyday now and can't see an end in sight. I can't even leave my house anymore. I was stable back in March when I was on celexa 40mg and amitriptyline 10mg. But they felt I needed a change. I worked full time, went places, socialized and now this is what I'm reduced to. No job and no.purpose. I'm having a hard time functioning each day and can't figure out what is a withdrawal symptoms and what is a side effect. Please anyone out there that can help message me
Aww you poor thing. I know what you are going through as I have had all those feelings in the past and it was the worst time of my life. Go back to your gp and ask if he can give you something to help you relax a little until the side effects or withdrawal symptoms settle down. I wish you all the best and hope you feel better asap x
Sabrina,
If celexa helped you previously I would recommend sticking to them and toughing out the side effects and soon you will be feeling better! I know it's hard getting past the horrible feelings you are having. But give yourself time to adjust to the medicine it takes weeks to stabilize on them. In the meantime ask your DR for something to calm your nerves until everything balances out
