I take the short acting 10mg dex.
I usually vary how much I take. But it's usually 2-3 a day (no more than 4). Sometimes I take less because I have had a hard time sleeping, or take more if I need extra motivation for the day. It doesn't help my mood, just my motivation.
So far, I don't think it has affected my previous cycling patterns, it has just induced this new occassional "wave" sensation that seems to be happening more often. I can't find any patterns or triggers.> 4) Do you ever think that the 30 mg/day of Celexa might be contributing to your ultra rapid cycling?
~ As far as the every few days cycling, I'm sure it would still be there if I didn't take it. One prob is I don't know when it started it has been so long. I didn't make the connection to ongoing independent changes until a few years ago. I have mood data that indicates this has probably been happening since 2002. It very well may have been "kindled" by SSRIs. I have been on & off of them since my teens & I am now 38.
~ As far as the switches during the day- Thankfully, they haven't been as sudden and extreme lately as I guess my body adjusts to getting off of the trial of Pristiq and back on Celexa. But I wonder why that happened? Just because it was a med change? Serotonin upset because of med change? Would it have continued to be that worse if I would have stayed on Pristiq?I take all of my meds (except for dexedrine) at consistent doses in the morning.
I hope this gives you enough info.
Thanks!
