Now that the citalopram is completely out of my body, I'm feeling a LOT better - and realizing how badly that med was making me feel.<br /><br />I am glad I listened to my instincts and called my doc. I just hope I can find something out there MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03540633438951294127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321992337975555663.post-35957489429448495532009-10-24T15:09:28.907-07:002009-10-24T15:09:28.907-07:00Finding the right balance is hard.

I hate trying new meds - it can be so frustrating and so depressing when it doesn't work or you react adversely to it.<br /><br />If you're like me, you have high hopes when you start. Then you doubt yourself when the doc says "you shouldn't have side effects like that." <br /><br />Yes, don'Betsy Blondinhttp://www.migrainejourney.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321992337975555663.post-23570726637513227802009-10-18T22:54:17.629-07:002009-10-18T22:54:17.629-07:00Bummer that you had what sounds like an adverse re...Bummer that you had what sounds like an adverse reaction. That's not the same as a side effect - You can't suck it up and outlast an adverse reaction.

We have to learn to listen to and respect our bodies and set limits. You are doing that and should feel incredibly proud of yourself!<br /><br />I'm sorry the Celexa wasn't a good fit for you. It has been a great antidepressant for me.Diana Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07003936391451383062noreply@blogger.com
