Hey all...
I've been taking 100mg of zoloft daily for not quite 3 years. I was never quite sure if it was the right drug for me. I took myself off it a few times previously with no success. I went back to the terrible feelings I'd had before. Well, 2 weeks ago, I did it again. Today I saw my new doc. (I finally quit my old one after hearing for like the 1000th time to quit smoking... like I didn't know it was bad...) Anway.. the new doc is having me try Celexa. She is having me try 20mg for 2 weeks then go back to see her. She says it doesn't have all the side effects that Zoloft has. I sure wish someone would have suggested this BEFORE I gained 30 pounds! So, today is the first day of Celexa. I'm still waiting for a miracle. I keep forgetting I've been 2 weeks without any meds and anything and everything including stupid commercials makes me break down in tears. I even started bawling in the doc's office when I was telling her about my allergies.
If anyone has any success stories, words of wisdom or just comments of their own, I'd love to hear. Until then, I'll be here, wiping my eyes and sniffling waiting until the new meds kick in.
Thanks!
