Hi guys,
I have been on Celexa for 2 weeks now. It is my first time trying an anti-depressant and since day one, it has been making me feel really weird. After reading all of your posts, I am starting to feel like maybe I should'ent be taking this stuff. Brain buzzez? Seizures?!? How can a drug company put something on the market that affects people's brains in such scary negative ways?
This drug is making me feel weird. If I stare at something too long...I feel like it is looking back at me. If I look really close at my pupils, they look like they are pulsing or I guess you could say buzzing. I feel sick and spinny for usually 3 hours after taking the drug. Somedays, I feel like I am underwater and everything seems ominous and strange to me.I was put on 20mg of celexa because I have been having problems with postpartum depression due to my hormones being all over the place. I guess I do not feel depressed as much but it has been replaced with paranoia, manic episodes (can't get off the floor one day, feeling inspired by all smiley cartoon characters on t.v. the next), and zombie like,"ho-hum I just want to lay on the couch all day" feelings.
Does it continue like this or will I start to feel balanced and happy soon? Is this stuff gonna mess with my brain to the point of changing who I am? When I go off of it, will I be o.k.? I don't want to experience seizures, I hate anxiety and I would rather be horribly depressed then go through anxiety episodes. I guess I am starting to feel worried about the state of my brain and I don't feel entirely comfortable with entrusting the doctors and drug companies to help me.
