** You're having all these symptoms because you are decreasing

too quickly. You have to go back up and slow down on this . The

least of your problems is your weight.

<< and more- I assumed it was just ALL candida issues b/c I've been

on SO many antibiotics- but I've been taking measures to help w/the

candida- lower carb foods, no sugar, no white flour, no milk, and I'm

STILL feeling bad...

> I've also been taking Nystatin- although can't tolerate it much

now w/stomach pain- and vitamins B and C and A - also chlorophyll,

raw glandulars, magnesium and calcium, pau d' arco (anti-fungal),

GABA, MSM but somedays I don't take them all b/c of stomach pain...

> I just want to have a life again and get rid of this AWFUL

nervousness and feelings of everything being so surreal! I am SCARED

to take the Celexa anymore- I started back on 10 mg a couple of weeks

ago b/c of the panic being SO bad- and .5mg (in divided doses) of

Lorazepam per day.

> The Celexa made me gain SO much weight- and now I went down to 5

mg for a few days and none last night of Celexa and a quarter of a

pill of Lorazepam yesterday- I'm just not sure -what- to do??>>

** Please tell me exactly how much you have dropped each time

and the time you put in between decreases.

You don't have to be suffering to this extent.

For now, take more lorazepam.

Hi - I initially took the Celexa from May 2004- Aug. 2005. I started tapering it from 40mg. initially to 30mg. in the beginning - than stayed on 30mg. for a while than went to 20mg. towards the end and than to 10mg. and the Dr. said 10mg. wouldn't even be affecting me so I just came off it in about a week. But than I got the "electrical zaps" throughout my body. The Lorazepam I took .5mg and 1/2 that dose for about 1 and 1/2 months. I was then totally off everything from Sept 2005-Feb 2006. I was also VERY sick from Oct.-Dec. (severe asthma and bronchial infections and antibiotics- no appetite) and again from Feb.-now (stomach flu twice in Feb./March- and extreme weakness- no appetite.) That is when my panic started BAD again in begin. March and I started back on Celexa 10 mg. and Lorazepam .5 mg. I don't know what to take now? Should I take the Celexa or

not? I tapered to 5 mg. after being on 10mg.-(w/no relief). I am so scred of all these "crazy med's" now.
