I am so confused with everything going on with me. Yesterday, aside from some early morning anxiety, I started to feel actually quite great. I felt like the old me. Then today I woke up with that dreadful feeling, and I'm super edgy, snappy, impatient, and super anxious. I am weaning off celexa, but why one good day, then a crash?? I think maybe it's because I am so scared to try the zoloft, fearing it wont work. I know I have been harping about this alot, but this rollercoaster is exhausting!!!! I just don't know what to do, like I cant trust my feelings from day to day!!!!!!!!

CM,

I get mood swings from just anxiety alone...add to that the fact that you are trying to make a med change, and you can easily see how this could add to emotional issues!

Try to take extra good care of yourself at this time with lots of rest, good nutrition, time to yourself...and for decompressing/coping skills. Take a quiet walk to relax, or another similar enjoyable activity.

Try not to anticipate anything but good, positive results with your new Rx...it will go a long way in keeping you in a good place mentally to begin switching over.:)

Keep us posted as to how you are doing.

S.C.

Coopsmom, Just out of curiosity, Is there a reason you are quitting the celexa? That's what my doctor prescribed me yesterday.

I'm switching the celexa because my anxiety and panic attacks have come back, but please don't fear! I was on this medication for 8 years and it killed my anxiety and depression dead! I had 8 amazing years with this med. I feel that maybe it has just run it's course. I do however know people who have been on it for a similar amount of time, with no poop outs, so don't you dare worry! I can tell you honestly, I was so happy for the celexa!!!!
