> Ok...how many people can honestly say that Celexa has "changed" their life? I didn't believe it could, but going onto week 3, I am a "believer" (no religion intended!). All I know is, I woke up 5 days ago, and the awful, crushing, gut twisting feeling in my stomach was GONE...I was so used to it being there the milllisecond that I wake up, that it shocked the hell out of me when it wasn't! At first I was sceptical...the whole day I kept waiting for the cold sweat, the heart pounding etc...you all know the feeling, and it never came...So of course the next morning, when it was still NOT there, I thought..hey...this could be a good thing! So far it's 5 days and every day I feel that much better than the day before...I actually caught myself hysterical laughing at my six-year-olds antics yesterday....I haven't laughed in a long time. It felt incredible. I think she noticed too...she was by my side all day, and we had a great time together..I hope you all don't mind me sharing this with you, but you all know that it's so much easier to explain these feelings to those who have been where we've been/are. Thanks for listening...I hope this is a step towards the beginning of the rest of my life...i've waited a long time.
> LPI just wanted to smile and celebrate when I read your post. Very good news. Salute! I'm so happy for you.
But you felt this way going into your third week? That means two weeks a couple days? Impossible! Don't you know these drugs take 4 to 6 weeks to work! I'm just kidding. :-)
I've seen enough reports like yours to know this is not a placebo effect. Relatively quick responses do happen. To me it indicates that Celexa is targeting your correct brain chemistry very closely, and is also a good match molecularly for your body. You got lucky with this choice, and I'm so so glad you did!
