My big worry is, do I taper off of the Lexapro, before going on the Celaxa?
I run out of the Lexapro in 3 days. That's why we reordered it. But when the insurance company called it into the Dr. that's when he ordered the Celexa. So, tomorrow, Celexa 2Omg gets delivered. I have no orders to do anything else.
And how we found out about this was by checking the online insurance info. The doctors office never called me. Geez, huh?
I'm disabled after brain tumors removed, and a pulmonary embolism caused me to die for 5 min. I have cognitive dysfunction problems. And epilepsy.
On Topamax 200mg Bid. Desyrel 100mg at night for insomnia . And Ativan .5mg for anxiety during the day.(take that ONLY when I need it. I refuse to be a social druggie. ) And of course for now , I take Lexapro 20 mg daily.
I appreciate all you people for your help!
And by the way, I'm having major problems with depression this past month. No suicidal ideations, fortunately, just having flashbacks from my 11 hour brain surgery, death ,not being able to be the nurse I was for 14 beautiful years, can't read past a paragraph because I can't comprehend that darn meanings, can't drive over 20mins without losing total concentration (yea, none of my doctors have taken my license away yet, c an you believe that!!? ) But, I have to say, I am smart and wise enough to no my limits, so I make sure I do not drive when I am very tired, or just am not concentrating good at all.
Oh , I could go on and on, but this is not the right forum to do it at. Sorry.
Good health to you all!
