Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Dana, I use Celexa, and have gone off and on it a couple of times.
I find that after not having been in it for a while, when I DO go on at the dosage I was taking before I went off, I feel speedy and ramped up for a few days; I think starting off at 10 mgs for a 4-5 days is a good plan.
I'd like to stay at 10 if I can. I still have some hope that the side effects might lessen slightly.
I also think it might have been helping with headaches. I had a four-day migraine a couple of weeks ago, and that had never happened before.
You also might want to call your doc, explain the situation, and the going back on at 10 mgs to try to get the bennies without the side effects, and see if perhaps she would prescribe a small script of Xanax or similar anti-anxiety for use if you are having a really hard emotional response.
Aw, Dana, I'm sorry you are having such a rough time. Many hugs to you and vibes for your whole family.
Congrats to sj and TCG!
Dana, I go on and off Celexa like a yo-yo. My doctor expects it of me now. It seems to help as long as I continue to take it for several months after symptoms have improved. (I should probably stay on it permanently, but there are times when I want to be off it.) Really sorry to hear about your grandfather.
I'm off to Geneva. Flying alone. Given that since I've been a wheelchair user, almost no flight has gone without a hitch for me, I'm hoping this will be a lovely exception! See you on the other side, Bitches.
Happiest of days to SJ and TCG!
Fingers crossed for an easy flight, Seska!
Have a wonderful day, sj and TCG! Wishing you everything for today and your life together that you wish for yourselves.
Much joy to you and TCG, sj!
Safe, easy travels, Seska.
The baby has a check up this morning, and then I will spend the day shampooing our rugs. I know how jealous you all get, so I won't tell you about how I also hope to put that plastic stuff over the windows in the baby's room.
I am so jealous! My day will be spent running around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to do everything I was supposed to do for the past, like, ever. Oh, and the dog is going in to the vet to get his teeth cleaned. They`ll knock him out for it, so I will worry all day.
Travel~ma for Seska.
Doggy-dental~ma for Liese. Yeah, it's a simple procedure, but it is nerve-wracking anytime they go under anaesthesia.
Happy Wedding Day, sj and TCG.
