In reply to Celexa and increased mood swings, posted by Shelley in Seattle on January 18, 1999, at 16:00:26
Just got done reading this whole thread. I sure can relate. First off, yes, I have had some big mood swings since being on Celexa. The stuff makes me manic. (not to the point of hospitalization, mind you, although I could use the vacation...) I am in the process of weaning slowly off it because I am not crazy about jumping in place and not sleeping and the irritability and all that kind stuff. But on the upside, I sure do get a LOT done! Also, I too have constant thoughts of suicide, although some times are less serious than others. I thought I was the only person in the nation who was supposedly "cured" of my depression (since my therapist thinks I look "just fine", too) but still looks at every tree, telephone pole, and steep embankment as an "opportunity". I also belong to the "real good fakers" club. Nobody would EVER guess what goes through my mind on a daily basis. I too, end up being the jack-of-all-trades at work, no matter what job I hold. I always thought that came from the need to be appreciated from coming from a VERY dysfunctional family.
