Cam,
Hey! ;-) LOL!
Just because Celexa does not work for your chemistry does not mean it won't work for someone else.
Trust me, Celexa has been a life-saver. I know that it is working because I tried cutting the dose in half (under pdoc supervision) and I became positively loopy. I'm back up to the 40mg dose and I'm stable for the first time in quite a while.
EffexorXR should be respected. It worked for me on my depression (but not the OCD or anxiety). It also left me absolutely numb from the waist down. I was on it for a good 5 months so I had a more than adequate trial with it. The side effects for me were depressing and it was difficult not having help with the OCD or anxiety. So Effexor is not the "majic bullet" for everyone, O wise one. ;-)
Take Care,
Simcha> Nightlight - < LOL > - I guess it can be said, Effexor... a drug that needs to be respected; is highly efficacious in most people.... Celexa... a very safe drug in most respects; doesn't work, but it is a very safe drug. - Cam
