I tried a 4month tapering scheme where I would disolve the citalopram in a fixed amount of water, and then let a little more water out each day. No matter how slow I went, the symptoms withdrawl would slowly start up, and never subside.

Link; I thought you were doing better too. At least you have sounded better on some of your other Posts I have read. How about the Benadryl and Prozac other Posters talk about to help with W/D? I don't know. Just a thought. Phillipa P.S. Crazychick, I thought coffee and sweets were helping you also?

With all those physical side effects I would think it would be effecting you emotionally, but I'm glad it's not? Are you still up for adoption? Phillipa

I'm sorry. Do you get out and do things or just stay in? Does the Xanax help if you do go out? Phillipa

Crazychick; What are you doing to stay calm? Are you at home with your daughter? Are you going to take any meds if the pdoc says you should? Maybe something else for anxiety. I don't know what else you can get rx'd for you in the Uk. Phillipa

Hi Donna!!
Try neroli oil, I like it much better than lavender. It's also more expensive though :-(

Hello!
Neroli oil is the fragrant essential oil which comes from the blossoms of the Seville orange tree. It is named after an Italian Princess called Neroli.
Neroli oil smells very nice and so it's widely used in perfumery and aromatherapy. In aromatherapy, Neroli is used to treat depression and anxiety because it is both calming and uplifting. If you like the smell you would probably find it relaxing- you can put a few drops in the bath. It is more expensive than lavender oil, you can buy it from Holland and Barrett. Be sure to find out whether you like the smell before you buy any!
> dO u know of spect scans in the uk? i know theres some serious damage in my brain caused by meds..
I am not sure which hospitals do SPECT scans.

Hi guys,
I have been on Celexa for 2 weeks now. It is my first time trying an anti-depressant and since day one, it has been making me feel really weird. After reading all of your posts, I am starting to feel like maybe I should'ent be taking this stuff. Brain buzzez? Seizures?!? How can a drug company put something on the market that affects people's brains in such scary negative ways?
This drug is making me feel weird. If I stare at something too long...I feel like it is looking back at me. If I look really close at my pupils, they look like they are pulsing or I guess you could say buzzing. I feel sick and spinny for usually 3 hours after taking the drug. Somedays, I feel like I am underwater and everything seems ominous and strange to me.I was put on 20mg of celexa because I have been having problems with postpartum depression due to my hormones being all over the place. I guess I do not feel depressed as much but it has been replaced with paranoia, manic episodes (can't get off the floor one day, feeling inspired by all smiley cartoon characters on t.v. the next), and zombie like,"ho-hum I just want to lay on the couch all day" feelings.
Does it continue like this or will I start to feel balanced and happy soon? Is this stuff gonna mess with my brain to the point of changing who I am? When I go off of it, will I be o.k.? I don't want to experience seizures, I hate anxiety and I would rather be horribly depressed then go through anxiety episodes. I guess I am starting to feel worried about the state of my brain and I don't feel entirely comfortable with entrusting the doctors and drug companies to help me.
