I just experienced my first hypomanic episode (I think) and cycling experience. I have been on Celexa in the past and had no cycling and when I went on it this time, I was okay except I still had a lot of anxiety. I was having a fairly regular cycle of feeling very nervous and scared in the mornings, wearing off at night, when I'd feel normal. I was taking Celexa 10mg. Also Klonopin .5 mg day.
Then I got more depressed. Very depressed. My pdoc increased my Celexa to 20mg (even though I knew increasing the Celexa would make me more anxious becasue it had in the past). He also increased my Klonopin to .5 mg three times a day.
for the first couple of weeks I was okay. But then I got very agitated and anxious and feeling like I was going to jump out of my skin. I had too many things going on at once and couldn't concentrate on any of them. I was freaking out. Always feeling like I'd had ten pots of coffee but bad mood at the same time. The triple Klonopin dosage might as well have been water for all the good it did.
I went back down to 10mg Celexa and now I'm deeply depressed again but not as agitated. But still very jittery and scared a lot of the time. I have about one day a week where I feel okay. The rest of the time I am either very deeply depressed, very agitated and scared or worst of all, both at the same time.
