yikespanic Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Dr. Grubb started me on a tinie tiny dose of Celexa on Feb 15th, 5mg, and it's the first one I've ever tried that hasn't given me insomnia or other wierd feelings. My question is this, how long did you take an antidepressent before you started to notice you were feeling better. And how do you know when the dose needs to be uped and when? I have noticed I have a very dry throat since starting it, and am extra thirsty if that's possible, I'm already floating. I do have a couple things that are happening that feel different, but I am not sure if it's not just me being scared cuz it's a new med or not. My anxiety feels a little worse at times and I feel jittery? Will this go away with time? Please tell me it will! That's the main reason I need this med. One thing I have noticed since he took me off my beta blocker and florinef is that my BP isn't spiking up. He said it also does something to help reset the system that controls my BP. Anyone know of a paper that explains how this type of drug does this? Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMouse Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 I didn't good effects until I was on 30mg--which was at about the 1 month mark (2 weeks on 15, then 2 on 30) Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoGiuliana Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 I am on a different SSRI--but it took a good 6 weeks to start noticing any beneficial effects, and about 3 weeks of worse POTS symptoms. It's a challenge, but try to get through it b/c if it helps you may become a lot more functional in the long run.Katherine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
