Guest guest Posted December 10, 2002 Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 Hi , Ive been on celexa for about 2.5 months. Im super sensitive to drugs. The celexa at FIVE mgs has gotten rid of my anxiety however, I find that I am having terrible sadness now. I never had it before. I think my anxiety was masking depression. Panic attacks are gone. Everytime I try to up my celexa to 10 mgs. I get really tired and bad stomach troubles. Its also messed up my periods too. So I am going to try the lex next month, however, he wants me on the equivalent dosage of lex to celexa. They say that lex can be 4x's as strong as celexa so he wants me on .125 mgs. Thats a 5 mg pill that I take a quarter of. He says if I tolerate it I can take 2.5, then 5...etc... Celexa gives me this tight feeling in my stomach like agitation plus empty stomach syndrome. Whenever I up it I have anxiety. Thanks for listening everyone. Suz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Hi Tamara, I can sympothise with you all the way, I like you and many others went from bad to worse till my surgeon offered me a replacement A and like you i asked lots and lots and lots of questions till i decieded to go for it. My way of life has spiraled out of control i can eat nearly everything and anything. I have a 5 year old little boy whom im bringing up on my own and had to be in better health to be able to do that. I had several things go wrong at the start but im glad to say im not looking back at all now. I hope and pray that you get the help you need either finanically or otherwise.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Hi Jan, Thanks for offering to field our questions....How long ago did you have your 'ectomy? How old were you when you had it done? What did you have put in or moved, to replace it? Was it a gastric pullup? Were there any other body parts that were moved to become a part of your new "esophagus?" You sound like you are doing a lot better now. Was your recovery a long one? Thank you for your offering your help to the 'ectomy group. In a message dated 8/31/2006 12:01:05 P.M.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Jan Can you tell me what you mean by “man made”? I’m sure it will be in my future to have further issues, so I would like to get as much info as possible.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 HI Jan, I second all of s " ? " s so you wont have to repeat them. I am dying to know what you mean by man made though. I am glad you are doing so well. Thank you for allowing us all that are facing this to bombard you with questions. I thought that the meds might pose a problem but as long as they can work them out I will be ok with that aswell.
