I've been on celexa for about 5 weeks. I've been taking 40mg for a week and a half. Can't completely shake the dazed feeling. I've switched from am to pm but I'm still beat plus not really alert. Wound up slowing down for a blinking yellow school bus instead of stopping 'til someone honked and that woke me up. That kind of daze. I know when I see the pdoc he will say let's add ritalin. I've taken it before and it has made me more alert but I also felt I became less "charming", more likelly to take offense at what someone would say. I am also sensitive on this celexa. Has anyone else had experience with ritalin and celexa. Did you find yourself more defensive and not necessarily paranoid but more wary?
Also, we had our first warm day. Humid but not really. However, I felt it even though I was not exerting myself-- I'm sure this is a celexa response too. What meds are available to reduce the sweating and what do they mess up when the sweating is reduced? (Sorry, I got a bit sarcastic there. But I have been extremely discouraged this past year with medications). What a way to live a life. You sometimes wondere why you do survive or why you should keep on trying?(Oh gosh, a double morose thought!!!)
Anyway your experiences and thoughts would be helpful.
