Well, it became really really really bad this afternoon so I finally popped a Celexa 20 .. but no Effexor ... the suicidal thoughts were back "en force" and I basically had a hard time just walking to the bathroom. Being alone for the next two days, I didn't want to risk it ... I mean sure I have my pets to keep me "grounded" but I don't want to have to go to the ER either.
I'm really thinking that this whole idea that the Celexa might be "masking" the effexor withdrawal because I definately feel better now. In fact, I feel like my normal self right now.
If I can get myself off the Effexor, I will be satisfied for now ... and then after a few months I'll try and remove the Celexa as well.
Maybe if my doctor sees that I've done half the work on my own and am still doing fine he will help me get rid of the last med ... and as far as I know the Celexa withdrawal is nowhere near as bad as the Effexor.
