Hello Allison (or anyone else),
Celexa update:
I've just finished the first week at 20 mg (after one week at 10), and will go at least another week at that level. I had a pretty rough four days or so after the dose increase: really sluggish and tired, couldn't concentrate or think clearly, major procrastination on serious things. (These were problems before Celexa, so that wasn't a change, just exacerbation.) I called in sick Monday and Tuesday and just laid around and dozed most of the time (though I did manage to get myself to yoga class on Sunday). No problems sleeping, day or night. Wednesday I went back in to work, mostly because staying away another day would have created more problems than I felt like dealing with, and I felt better that day and Thursday. Of course I wonder whether that was due to the med or the fact that I got out of the house and did something I'd been avoiding, and interacted with other human beings. Friday was kind of up and down, and today so far I feel OK, by which I mean what feels like about base level before Celexa. I'm not sure I perceive any AD effect yet, but at least I seem to be tolerating it now, so I'm mildly optimistic.
How is it going for you? Have the tiredness and insomnia changed at all?
Best,
Lynn
