I was on Zyprexa also and they gave it to me along with the CELEXA.  The Zyprexa was to help me sleep because I just can't sleep more than a couple hours at a time.  HOWEVER! ZYPREXA has MANY MANY class action law-suits against it and this drug about to be pulled from circulation.  It causes way too many side effects.  I wouldn't take it anymore if I were you, but that's up to you.  Don't do anything without asking your doctor.  I received all kinds of papers in the mail about this nationwide lawsuit and even calls at home advising me to no longer take it.  It basically the first few times I used it, did it's job and knocked me out cold, I was on next to the smallest dose.  Then it got to where it didn't faze me.  I did however find it made me more angry.  Just my own experience with it.  Good Luck.

I was on it for a while, but it never seemed to help me at all. I am now on Effexor, and it is working for me. But different things work for different people. Just make sure you talk to your doctor about it and keep him/her up to date so he/she knows to make adjustments or not.

stop scaring the poor lass.\ngo to a doctor, and be honest. tell him/her how you feel. mood swings, your appetite, how well you sleep, stuff like that.  they're not going to do a whole lot, maybe just check your blood sugar and ask about your periods.\nif they think you have a mental problem, they will probably start you off on a mild anti-depressant and work up from there.\ntrust me folks, it is surprisingly easy to get prescriptions from doctors.

Go back to your doctor, it sounds like you need a different anti-depressant...  You're having too many side-effects...  Good luck and i hope you feel better soon...

There are so many different pills, if this one is no longer working for you, ask your doctor if you can try another one. I've changed pills for the same reasons as one that seemed to agree with me suddenly stopped and I was an emotional wreck. I'm now on a low dose pill and I'm much better......and my kids aren't afraid to speak anymore lol.

"I take meds but I guess they are not working too well."\n\nWho prescribed your meds?? What are you taking? Contact your doctor immediately and let them know they don't work.

Georgette, There are a couple of things in your question that I don't understand. First is how do you know you haven't been properly diagnosed? I suggest that you sit down with your physician(s) and have him explain to you how and why the diagnosis was reached.\n\nSecond have you taken the medication regimine correctly and faithfully? Results are not always immediate. YOu can't abandon the medication because you don't have fast results.\n\nI'm not saying it's in your head, but some illnesses, such as depression, for example, can manifest with physical symptoms.\n\nGood luck to you

When I came off my antidepressants I did it over 6 months, gradually reducing the dose every couple of weeks.  I think your doctor was wrong to tell you to be treatment less for a week, but that is just my opinion.  Go back and see him and tell him how you feel!...;

Surely a physician has been prescribing this medication?  I find it difficult to believe a physician is keeping you on this medication without wanting to monitor you on a periodic basis. Whether you are medicating yourself or not, get to a physician who will evaluate your need for this medication and perhaps formulate a plan to help you deal with these awful side effects.  Get yourself to the Doc. PRONTO!!  This is heavy duty!

Dude, you should talk to your doctor about changing your meds.

I heard it can make you feel a bit emotionally numb, Most of the anti depressants I have taken have have had a similar effect on me, but only as I have begun taking them. If it is still the same after a month or two I normally demand a change of medication.

I was taking 30 mgs. daily, and my doctor took me off of it too abruptly - just over a two week period, and I had been taking it for over a year.  It took me about a month to feel like myself again.  My side effects included dizziness, waves of shock like electricity in my head (the worst.)  It helped me to go to a search engine under "Celexa Withdrawl Symptoms" and see that a lot of other people felt like I did.  You'll be ok again.
