Frank, I have been on Celexa for over 10 years. I have had good luck with it, but I do get some serious weirdness in my brain if I forget to take a pill. I have never come off on purpose, so I imagine if you tapered it would be better.

Very aptly put, Hec. And I tend to be creature of habit(s - often bad ones) so breaking out of certain patterns has always been an effort for me.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, yeah, I do get a headache if I accidentally miss a pill. So I advise against that.

Thrive to spite them
I still feel bad today. I went to therapy, where I cried, bcecause it's therapy.
I did read some of whatI wrote on FB about Robin Williams and talked about that.
I almost skipped because I had a headache and was running a slight fever, but I went. Then I went to the store for provisions and it was painful. THe light, the noise, the people. Now that I'm home the headache is receding. I don't think I have a fever.

Frank, I'm pretty sure I'm on generic Celexa. I take 3 different anti-depressants and an anti-anxiety med as well. All at low doses, but each serves a different need. I don't think I've had any problems with it in particular.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I have ice cream, and painkillers. Right now, I need them both.

I'm glad things went ok, Typo. And it's good to see your pixels, Frank. I'm sorry things have been rough, and I hope Celexa or some other med will prove helpful. Askye and Hil, I hope you both feel better soon.
I got to babysit a friend's 19 month-old girl today. It was kinda fun.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I've been on celexa for more than 10 years and it's been my wonderbraindrug. My dad and sister also have been through the a/d formulary and both also ended up on celexa which fully reenforces my perception of my brain chemistry as being genetically wacked. I have tried tapering off a few times (always after over a decade of daily use) and get very dizzy and lose what little "filter" I normally have in speaking with other human beings. So I'm down to 1/2 of a little bitty pill and that's cool.

I'm at my cousin's wedding. The bride is a half hour late and the priest does not look happy.
