I just started Celexa yesterday and I'm having side effects... not as bad as other antidepressants I've tried though, but bad enough to keep me home and feeling sick.
--really bad muscle aches, tremors, rigidness
--lockjaw feeling, tight throat, jaw aches badly, headache I think from this, my back is now killing me, as is are my shoulders
--low blood pressure when I stand up that's pretty strong, that's what kept me on the couch today, along w. a laboured heart feeling
--very very dry eyes
--slight nausea
--slight drowsinessOddly, after one day, I'm experiencing relief to some degree already? More energy (despite not being able to use it), mind feels sharper, sex drive is back, mood feels more hopeful (I didn't cry today), and for the first time in months I was HUNGRY, I thought it was psychosomatic, being so soon, I've taken only two doses, but I'm not sure it is, because I've been REALLY down, and I've tried other AD's with no luck, and even though I'm not liking the side effects to this, I'm feeling willing to keep on if I keep feeling even this good emotionally, I think, unless the orthostatic stuff doesn't subside.
