My life is screwed cause of celexa primarily. I was given ativan(lorazepam)0.5 mg 3 x day for 12 days, I tried to stop but had shooting pains in legs and body tremors. I went to doc, he said here take this celexa while you are tapering ativan to boost your mood. Well, thaings happened alright. within 12 days of taking celexa with taper of ativan, I lost my peripheral vision(by the way I had been to eye dr 4 days before pills I had perfect vision).I couldn't breathe for 5 weeks,palpitaions for 5 weeks, memory/deciision making process is shot. I have no interest, no emotions ,I barely talk to anyone. I used to be the most outgoing happiest down to earth person. It has ruined me. I also have muscle spasms 24 hours a day( hands, shoulders, legs)I sleep with jaw clenched, which I never did before. except anger at what has happened. I was also sent to 2 different detoxes by the same dr. , and kept there for 6 days even though there were no drugs in my urine. Except for the phenobarb they gave me to "prevent a seizure". Well we later found out I couldn't have had a seizure. I was CLEAN, no drugs to have a seizure from.I hope that people research their drugs before blindly trusting these stupid freakin drs. with their lives.That is my only hope now.
