Its been a rough few months for me and my family. (My mom was dx'd with brain cancer) Anyways I have been feeling real bad such as: mind racing thoughts, cant sleep at all, tired lack of energy, moody, very high strung emotionaly - the best way to describe it is: torn inside out!
I finally broke down and went to the doctor and he walked in and i couldnt even talk i just started crying so hard. Sooo, We are going to try 10mg of Celexa for one month. I'll take it at bedtime because it has a sedative in it so it'll help me sleep. He told me that i had "situational depression" - wow i think thats putting it well considering how i've been feeling!
I took my first pill last night and WHEW i actually slept last night. This is the first time that i have actually slept since November. Before, I just couldnt get my mind off my mom long enough to sleep and when i did fall asleep i'd have terrible nightmares of my mom dying so i'd wake up scared or crying. I have had enough, its not something i wanted to do but i decided to call the doctor. I woke this morning and felt so refreshed so i'm really hoping this will help. I realize this wont fix it, but it'll help me become more stable-- or at least i hope.
My whole point is, anyone on here take celexa or have taken it? And if so, what are your experiences with it?
Thanks in advance to everyone.
