Climbing on the "med wagon" can be very scary. I'm just coming out the end of a 2 year tunnel of depression. Tried many different anti depressants. I felt like a lab rat! The final thing that pulled me out of it was Celexa. I was on Remeron and still having anxiety and "jumping out of your skin" feelings. My doc added 20mgs Celexa in the am and that did the trick.

My hope of course is to eventually wean off all of these meds, but realistically, having been through a number of depressions, I realize that it may be better to keep taking the meds than to be so dysfunctional. I have kids, hubby and a job to contend with and I feel it would be irresponsible of me to risk a crash. (that has happened in the past, very bad news) My libido is nil but I don't know whether that is from the Remeron, Celexa or menopause, or simply marital dysfunction. (having one partner depressed can put a lot of pressure on a marriage)

Back to the Celexa though. That was the clincher for me to finally lift me out of the mess I was in.

Hope you can sort it all out. Everyone reacts differently to various anti depressants. This is what worked for me....God luck...Tagger
