Shelley,

Good show!

I've been using Celexa for a couple of months and life seems really wonderful again. It's nice to wake up ready for each day, and wanting to sing, and be nice to almost everyone I meet...big difference from prior to Celexa. The great part is I'm on a really low dose too -- only 10mg/day. Let's hear it for mental health! I think they should put it in the drinking water, like floride. ;-)

I am grateful (and believe me, so are those around me!!) for the extremely favorable response I am having to this drug. But it is taking time for me to feel comfortable in my own skin again. It feels nice to feel 'even'. And I am getting used to not being such a misanthrope anymore. But it's going to take a bit of time before I am 'settled' into this new/old me.

I now feel very clear-headed, but not like a zombie. The difference is that now I can notice that I am dissatisfied or annoyed with a situation and change it or let it go, rather than ruminate over it the whole day.
