Weight Loss Forum / WeightWatchers / May 2005Update after dr. appt.
I've seen my doctor and after a good talk with him he prescribed Celexa in the hopes that it will lift me out of the doldrums I've been in lately. He mentioned that the side effect he sees most often with this medication is nausea. Perhaps that will deter me from food! Anyway, I will begin taking it this evening and am hoping that I will see an improvement over the next week or two. I have to see him again in two weeks. Good luck to you all this week. Brenda Sounds like you were able to have a candid discussion with your doctor. Thanks for posting the outcome of your appt. I've been thinking about you all day, wondering how things had gone for you. I really hope you start feeling more like yourself very soon. -- Linda P >I've seen my doctor and after a good talk with him he prescribed Celexa in >the hopes that it will lift me out of the doldrums I've been in lately.

The additional daylight should also help. >I've seen my doctor and after a good talk with him he prescribed Celexa in >the hopes that it will lift me out of the doldrums I've been in lately.

It feels good to be out there, not cooped up in the house. DS and I took a nice long walk Sunday morning - it was beautiful and not too warm - the exercise felt good. Brenda > Be well.

[quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Brenda Hi Brenda, I just wanted to let you know that even though I am new here, I support you in your struggle. I am on Wellbutrin and Effexor right now, and have been on and off Zoloft in the past for several years. It has really helped me climb out of some dark times in my life (along with psychotherapy). It's weird, every time I try to take myself off these medications, I somehow always find myself at the bottom again (or on my way). Depression is a horrible thing to feel, so I hope the Celexa helps you. As a sidenote, my doctor put me on Lexapro for a short time a couple years ago (which is related to Celexa I guess). It turned out it wasn't for me because of the side effects I was experiencing, but I have heard about a lot of people it has helped. Anyway, Zoloft (which is also an SSRI) did make me stop eating so much when I first started taking it. That was a side effect I didn't mind too much! ;-) Sharon aka Happycat >> I've seen my doctor and after a good talk with him he prescribed Celexa >> in the hopes that it will lift me out of the doldrums I've been in [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > way).

I've been feeling a little nauseous and tired today. Jack warned me that I may have these symptoms so I was expecting it. > Sharon aka Happycat Good for you for addressing your problem. That is the first step to improving. My hubby takes Celexa and it works wonderfully for him. Mind you after 4 years on it he had to up his dosage a little, but keeps you on a more even keel that many of the other drugs.

While you may see some slight improvement over the next week or two, give it some time. I believe most of the anti-depressant meds take 6 weeks to reach full potency (or whatever) in the system. I think my friend summed it up pretty well when she was on anti-depressants ... didn't make her all of a sudden happy, but kind of put things on more of an even keel. Does that make sense? Hope you're feeling much better soon. Joyce >I've seen my doctor and after a good talk with him he prescribed Celexa in >the hopes that it will lift me out of the doldrums I've been in lately.

While > you may [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > put > things on more of an even keel. Does that make sense? Makes perfect sense. He told me that it wouldn't give me the maximum benefit right away, may take up to 4 weeks - so we'll wait and see. So far so good. I'm not feeling as restless and anxious as I was before. > Hope you're feeling much better soon. > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >> >>Brenda >> Glad to hear you got to the Dr. and are getting the help you need.

It might also be a bit comforting knowing that your doctor is taking you serious, which will also help with those anxious feelings. Stick with those meds and the doctor, sounds like you have a good one fighting for you. Joyce *HUGS* No advice to give, just wanting to add my support. >I've seen my doctor and after a good talk with him he prescribed Celexa in >the hopes that it will lift me out of the doldrums I've been in lately.

I'm doing okay, fourth day on Celexa today and I'm feeling much more relaxed and less irritable for sure. I spent the whole day yesterday with DS and didn't get upset once. That hasn't happened for a loooong time! He must sense that I'm not as irritable as I was just a few days ago as he seems a little different as well. How and where have you been? Are you still busy with wedding plans and all that good stuff? Brenda > *HUGS* > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > - Weight Loss Challenge Summary: > http://www.angelfire.com/me4/travelgirl/summary.htm More relaxed and less irritable? I think I know some people that could use that! I've been okay. Busy dealing with all the wedding junk and so forth. I'll be posting an update in just a little bit. >Thanks Amberle, that's sweet of you.

Give your body time to get used to the Celexa. When they put my daughter on Zoloft it took several weeks before she noticed signifcant improvment in her feelings. > I've seen my doctor and after a good talk with him he prescribed Celexa in > the hopes that it will lift me out of the doldrums I've been in lately.

For instance, after dinner I walked over to DS's fish bowl, he fed the fish, then I stood watching them for about 2-3 minutes. DH asked why I was acting so weird, standing there for that length of time without being all agitated! Brenda > Glad to hear that your doctors visit went well.
