> I have these thoughts that I might do something risky. Like I might not be able to control the bad thoughts I have in my head. I can't feel my emotions. Like sometimes I might flip out and not know right from wrong. This is totally out of character for me! I had this happen while taking Celexa and now on Effexor. Should I call my Pdoc or wait til next week when I have an appointment. I am scared to death! What if I carry out these thoughts? It has to be the meds because I never felt this way before. Please don't ask what the thoughts are, I am too embarrassed. Anyone else have this happen? Thanks Gloria
Gloria, I would definitely talk about these thoughts with your pdoc. It sounds like you may have OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder). Lots of people with OCD have "bad thoughts" (of harming someone they love, sexual fantasies they'd never carry out, etc.) which bother them but which they would never carry out. SSRI's (such as Celexa) and Effexor are used to decrease OCD; however, you may not be on the right meds, for you (since people are all different). Right now, I'm taking Effexor-XR to decrease such "bad thoughts." Hang in there, and talk to your pdoc.
