[Brian50]

Had anyone ever tried Celexa?

[Trishmarie290]

I have and i had horrible reaction to it so they put me on Prozac which I have not taken cuz I'm to afraid of side effects but it all has different effects on ppl I'd give it s try

[Brian50 in reply to Trishmarie290]

What kind of reactions did you have?

[Kim70]

Terrible drug! High blood pressure, sweating, dry mouth and dry eyes, vision issues, and lack of energy! I'll never take it again!

[Brian50 in reply to Kim70]

Well I hope it doesn't give me high BP I already have that. Thanks for your advice. 😀

[Trishmarie290]

[Brian50 in reply to Trishmarie290]

Hi, I've taken this and never had any side effects. It did help me for depression and when I stop taking it I didn't have any withdrawal problems either. Hope this helps.

[Brian50 in reply to Jiminez]

Thank you. Mine is focused on anxiety. Hope it helps. I take Zoloft now but it's not doing anything.

[Jiminez]

I think I read Zoloft can take up to 4 weeks to kick in. It's suppose to be more beneficial when used in conjunction with CBT for anxiety. Do you live in the uk?

[Brian50 in reply to Jiminez]

I have had both for about a year. No I live in the US.

[Brian50 in reply to Brian50]

I wish I lived in Great Britain. My grandfather was born in London.

There's a book called The Mindfulness Way through Depression you could try. It can be bit heavy going in some places. I'm in a similar situation to you, I have anxiety and depression and I'm currently taking mirtazapine, but it just takes the edge of it, doesn't completely resolve it. So, I bought the book after someone suggested it. It does help and I found it useful in explaining the the way the mind tries to fix depression and why it's mostly unsuccessful. There's a programme to follow with meditation and shows you how gently shift you focus on things

[Brian50 in reply to Jiminez]

That would be awesome to read. Thank you

[Jiminez in reply to Brian50]

Good luck, wish you all the best

i have tried to get on 4 different medications! Was unsuccessful with each one! The side effects were dreadful! I am know taking many healthy supplements and eating healthy! It's a slow process but I am feeling less anxious and less depressed! Lots of b vitamins!

[Trishmarie290 in reply to Kim70]

So what kind of vitamins just b? Or more cuz I hate taking meds they scare me

[Kim70 in reply to Trishmarie290]

No lots more! Vitamin a for eyes, b complex, riboflavin ( another b), lots of omega 3's ( 4 a day) b12, vitamin d, a great herbal vitamin for anxiety called rhodiola!! Need to get high quality vitamins from health food store! Been working with a natural path for 4 months! When I started seeing him I had so much anxiety! I am feeling about 70 percent better! Just gotta get rid of the eye symptom!!

[Trishmarie290 in reply to Kim70]

Mine is lightheaded shaky weak sick eye spots dizzy pressure in ears head when I get scared and more was yours like that I need advice if you could 😀

[Brian50 in reply to Trishmarie290]

It does suck. The only thing that helps me is xanax and meditation. 😊

[Brian50 in reply to Kim70]

I will try that. Thank you.

[Kim70]

Meds scare the crap out of me! The list of side effects are crazy! I will do my best to stay off of them, if I'm able!!

[Brian50 in reply to Kim70]

It is. You don't know what to trust.

[Kim70]

Anxiety sucks! I find keeping busy and not focusing helps! When I feel the wave starting I tell myself this is only anxiety it will pass!!

[Brian50 in reply to Kim70]

I know what your saying. It sure does suck. Thank you for the reply. 😄

[Kim70]

How are you doing on them? Any side effects????

[Brian50 in reply to Kim70]

I haven't picked them up yet. I get them Tuesday.
