I've been on Celexa for several years, and it's worked just fine for me. I was take about 20 mg a day. When I started it, and a couple of times when I have been off for a couple of weeks because of money/script issues, the first day or two of going on it were speedy like WHOA with some racing heart stuff.

But other than that, very ok.

I am an idiot. The interview today that I thought went really well, for a job I really want? I just went to write a thank you note, and I realized that I didn't know the interviewer's name. I checked the webpage for the department, which has pictures of all the faculty, and there are at least three different people who look kinda like the one I remember talking to. At least two of them work in areas that would make them likely people to interview for this job. The only email address that I've corresponded with is the department secretary. I guess I should just send the thank you note to her and ask her to forward it to the appropriate person.

I once asked a secretary to confirm for me the first and last names of the people on the interview panel. That sounded so much better than "I can't remember who they were, will you tell me?"

Hil, throw yourself on the mercy of the department secretary and ask her whom you talked to and his e-mail.

Internet stalking of cute guy I met yesterday has revealed that he's actually involved with all those Jewish environmental groups that I keep seeing and thinking "I should do that" but then never do.

He's a friend of a friend. I should just ask the mutual friend about him, because internet stalking is creepy, even if it's just limited to google.

Or I could just friend him on facebook.

Internet stalking is creepy; checking out potential on Google is just 21st c. grapevine, IMHO.

Okay, drug update. It is Celexa they are switching me to. Since I read that it is basically Lexapro's cousin, I am assuming it will be okay. Any Celexa info from the Hivemind?

I'm taking generic Celexa (citalopram), and have no noteworthy problems. I want to blame weight gain on it, but I hadn't been to the gym in over 3 weeks, which I think is more likely.

Even though Lexapro and Celexa are related, you *really* should still taper down Celexa and taper up Lexapro.

Heh. Internet stalking is SO the thing to do, c'mon! How else do you learn about him?? THEN ask your friend about him. Part of internet stalking is looking at his Facebook profile. If he's awesome, he'll have it open to "friends of friends" (I do...at least parts...so people can internet stalk me! :) It allowed a friend of friend to pimp me out and message me saying "Charlie thinks you're cute, and is going to be in town next month" the other day!)

And THEN, you facebook friend him.

Voila, the social internet dance of 2010.

Okay I don't think I'm doing well with the caffeine withdrawl because I'm feeling on edge and a little bitchy. That and when I was at the grocery store there was a cooking demostration with salmon. It was at the front of the store and you could smell it in the back of the store and on the other side. And I can still smell it.

Hil, think of the department secretary as your mutual friend. And think of the mutual friend as the department secretary. It works both ways!
