I had taken a Celexa 10mg pill and within an hour I was having bad heart palpitations then had awoken at 4 am throat was really hurting felt like someone was coking me and ran to bathroom saw a rash from chin down neck. I immediately went to ER and had been given a shot of steroids and shot of benadryl 3 days later I had another reaction which was diagnosed from the same doctor and drew blood work for Shingles. I kept saying it was probably another reaction to either the steroid shot or benadryl. I still hadn't been sleeping well so I was advised to take 2 tylenol PM and 2 melanotin. I waited 9 days to be told I did not have shingles. The doctor had assumed I was having a nervous breakdown and was told to go directly to Butler Hospital which is for the mentally ill. I feel betrayed by my primary care physician because I had simply asked him for a sleeping aid and I was not able to speak to him once thru-out the whole terrible ordeal with Klonopin and celexa. I was told repeatedly from the nurses in his clinic that he was busy on everyday I called. I have been furious and I feel justified in my anger. I probably have a long battle ahead of me.
