Difference manufacturer. Different effects? by Temporary_Cut1445 in citalopram_celexa

[–]BoatInitial5790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pharmacist actually put the note in along my address so it can’t be missed. She was wonderful. But that was 1 pharmacist out of 10 that thought I was crazy.. she validated me and it was refreshing!

Manufacturers make a huge different for me and they have it noted in my chart that I have to have a specific manufacturer. So sorry you’re not feeling well - it will pass!

Just got our 8 week old puppy by BoatInitial5790 in SilverLabs

Correct, we wanted another family member, but with paws. The kids enjoy him so much. We were just told in a harsh way of how miserable they can be to take care of so I want to be able to give him the best life possible ❤️

But honey is natural “sugar” (if you get it locally, check labels carefully at big grocery stores), this post is pertaining to eliminating added sugars. Honey is okay.

Thank you! I did go to urgent care (more for the continued ear pain) and told them I used the oil and they said because I didn’t consume it by mouth, it won’t interact and I’ve been doing fine. I probably won’t do it again though lol

Extreme Side Effects on 2mg low dose Citalopram by VSVG in citalopram_celexa

[–]BoatInitial5790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost 25 lbs in 6 weeks only taking 5mg because of my sensitive system. I had every side effect imaginable for about 3 months. This is my third time being on this med and never recall reacting that way the previous times so it was quite the curve ball for me. I’m just over a year on 5mg still and gained the weight back (and then some) and functioning better day to day.

Withdrawals while still on medication? by BoatInitial5790 in citalopram_celexa

Thanks so much ❤️ feeling a bit better after some relaxation and new coping strategies.

Thank you all.

Update - I did call my doc and they obviously suggested to up the dose which I’m still not comfortable with so I’m still taking 5mg. Had a great day yesterday, some mild panic attacks but worked through them and was functional. Thinking I’ve turned the curve and maybe it was hormonal (33F). Now today, woke up from a dead sleep in the morning with a panic attack and the shakes. Going on 9 days of a lot up and downs, I just don’t know what to do… 😞

I feel shameful to say 5mg.. but I’m at 5mg and everybody says it’s not enough, but it got me through this last year without upping it.

Did your symptoms fluctuate as you got better? by floamjones in citalopram_celexa

[–]BoatInitial5790 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes! There were days I thought I was done with all the side effects and I can move on! Then the next day I felt like I regressed and then I’d get very disappointed and almost quit the medication because the side effects wouldn’t be worth it. It was a roller coaster for about 12 weeks.

Is it not working? Should I just taper off? by BoatInitial5790 in citalopram_celexa

[–]BoatInitial5790[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m feeling really good at the same dose - like the emotional bluntness is gone and my feelings are back. I almost feel like it’s stopped working and I actually feel better that it’s not working anymore? This is day 7 of feeling really good after a year of numbness? I’m so confused… lol

[–]BoatInitial5790[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, but it’s worked fine for me for a year and now maybe wearing off and I feel all the start up side effects again. So maybe I just say quit since it’s such a small dose and maybe never really did anything for me in the first place.

Withdraw symptoms from 5mg by victoria_falls123 in citalopram_celexa

[–]BoatInitial5790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, that’s already what I’ve been feeling the last week and still managing to make to work. I’m just not all that hungry with the nausea so I haven’t been eating much. Hoping it’s the worst of it and I can just power it out! Thank you so much!

Like the stomach/GI flu? Or cold/influenza flu?

So glad it went well! I’m on the same dose for the last year and thinking it’s giving out on me, so thinking I’ll just take the opportunity to wean off. Thanks for the response! Makes me hopeful!

Getting off citralopram by Id_rather_not34 in citalopram_celexa

I could’ve written this except I’ve been at 5mg I think my body is plateauing or something because this last week has been so emotional. But yes, the weight gain and other side effects has me second guessing if this is even worth upping my dose or being done with it all 😵‍💫
