re introduction
Mike44 replied to HeartagramGirl's topic in **A Special Forum to Welcome our 'NEW MEMBERS'!!**
Welcome back! You should blog on here, I will be reading it. -
You need to go see a doctor and get tests done. There is a good chance it is something else entirely.

Just need reassurance celexa
Mike44 replied to Mitch P's topic in Celexa (citalopram) / Lexapro (escitalopram)
The anxiety always causes depression for me. Makes me feel awful which causes more anxiety. -
Anybody else got off it successfully? Just wondering a little more what to expect this time around.

Hypothyroidism, depression, and adrenal fatigue?

Any updates? -
Well the last two months were awesome. The meds kicked in at 20mg and I had zero side effects. Now I have hit a wall of anxiety and feel myself slipping again. Upping to 30mg and hoping for the best. Anybody else have similar experiences?

So in May I started to become very anxious (GAD) which ultimately led to depression. I was completely floored, couldn't do much of anything, didn't sleep for days and it felt like time was passing very slowly. I eventually went to a doctor and she prescribed me Paxil and 20 Ativan for sleep. It took me a few days to work up the courage but I started taking the Paxil and I can't exactly tell when it began to work. I felt better almost the first or 2nd day and steadily got better after that which made me believe it wasn't the medication but something else. A day or two before taking the Paxil I had a near panic attack because I could not sleep and everything in my world felt like it was falling apart so I decided to take an Ativan and it must have helped because I slept for 8 hours with no issues and woke up feeling a bit off but somewhat alright. Fast forward to now, about 3 weeks ago I took my last Paxil 20mg by weaning off. I weaned very quickly and the only side effect I had was a bit of vertigo but everything else seemed fine. Now it's been a full 3 weeks and I am all of a sudden feeling very anxious again and I am torn between it being withdrawal or actually relapse of my symptoms, I have Paxil left over and I don't know if I should take it or not. All of this comes off of 3 years ago when I had my first episode of anxiety and decided to not take anything and it cleared up after a couple weeks, my therapist at the time was amazed. That time I went to the doctor and he prescribed me Effexor which I decided against taking. Basically the question I am posing is, has anybody came off Paxil or a short period of time (3-6 weeks) and felt they had to go in because of emotional side effects? I had no brain zaps or sleeping problems. Did it begin to work again for you? Just need some reassurance or at least somebody to talk to about their experiences... Thanks a lot if you read the whole thing.
