I'm taking 20mg cypramil which I think is the same or similar to celexa. I've been on it for about 7 weeks now. It is helping but really slowly. The last couple of days have been pretty tough. But mostly from my own doing. It was my birthday over the weekend so I went out with some friends and landed up drinking too much. Apart from the humilation it always sends me back into depression for about a week. Anyway, live and learn I guess. I have decided to take a month out from socialising to get my mind straight and get to know myself again. I have been depressed for so long that I have forgotten who I am. I am only just starting to enjoy the things that I used to love again. I think it might be healthy to concentrate on that for now. I do think that it might be necessary to increase the dosage that I'm taking, but for now I'll stick where I am and battle through it. Any thoughts?
> hey kittykat, i know how difficult it is and its been 4 years since i left that relationship and only now am i starting to really deal with the after effects. I really want a normal relationship where there is no insecurities and complete trust but then i wonder does anyone really have that? what defines normal? I think the fact that we are trying this again, shows that maybe we arent as 'relationship deviant' as we think, and somehow this could be the very thing that can help us heal.
> I'm glad you posted and yes it does sound like we are in the very same boat, what i have realized is that its normal to have insecurities but not to dwell on them because that can have its own devestating effects...easier said than done i know but i am working on it;)
