Thanks for evrybody's comments. It turns out that the morning headache I get from Celexa for some reason began to translate to morning depression. When I realized this, I began to really think in the morning-is this depression or pressure behind my eyes caused by Celexa headache.
After carefull consideration, I have concluded it was more headache!Be carefull when going off Celexa. I did it very slowly from 40 to 30 mg per day and after about three weeks the nasty depression began to sneak back!
Things seem OK now and I'm seeing a new therapist which may be making a difference. Weight gain hs been a MAJOR problem. My normal weight was around 210. When I was depressed it went to 185 and people said I looked good!
On Celexa I went to 220 and now I'm inching up toward 230! Even with little eating, I think this stuff affects matablism in a big way!
