> This is my first experience with this sort of drug. Only been taking celexa for three days...20mg. I've been reading how several people started at lower doses. I weigh 105...should I be taking less? I've experienced the haziness and floating also some shaking. Has anyone else been kinda shaky? kelli
James here....
There is not a correlation between weight vs AD in terms of treating depression, though light weights often are more sensitive to meds in general. If you are sensitive to meds then you will want to go with a smaller starting dose.
The effects you mention are common and generally
last until you feel the full effects of the AD or have been on the med for a while (a month) Many SSRI's rev people up for the first few weeks...like you have had to much coffee. This tends to calm down over time (the first few weeks)
You need to give the med a month and then see.If it were me I would always call the doc and leave a message to let him know what's up. I love my doc's voice mail.... as I have changed meds b4
I always let him know how things are going...good and bad. It's free !j
