In reply to Is Celexa really helping?, posted by janejj on August 22, 2003, at 15:17:52
Hi Janejj, boy, do I hear your dilemma!!!! Big time!!! I want to share something really fast because it leads up to the Celexa:-)
I changed my environment last summer~~1200 miles away to be exact, and it did wonders for my depression, although I continued with my med regimen, but I did go back to work and found no need to take such a high dose of Seroquel to help me sleep (when I was on it at that time), I'm no longer on that med anymore.
Anyway, I came back to my *old* environment and it sent me into an downward spiral. I should really say 'I allowed it to'.
What I am trying to do now, is get rid of some baggage~and that is exactly what it is-dirty, rotten, painful, useless, baggage, that I want to get rid of before I venture out again~where? I'm not to sure yet. I am very close with my family, so it may not be 1200 miles away~but who knows?
As far as the Celexa, that med worked very well for me~I went off of it because of that~I was feeling too good *NOT a good idea obviously*, just a suggestion.......if you are feeling good, I would stay on it for now, see how things go, a low dose can't hurt you, you can reap the benefits now, it will help with the bulimia again, which I hope you are getting therapy for?,even though you are in a good environment, and you won't have to deal with withdrawal now.
These are just *my* thoughts, because that's what I did do when I was in your exact situation.
I really wish you the best, if ya need anything just ask :-)

However recently things have gotten better for me in leaps and bounds and I couldn't be happier! My circumstance have changed completely, so the reason for my depression has dissapeared. However I don't know if this is as a result of me taking the Celexa or just because things have changed!? I don't want to take it if it isn't really helping.
