Hi,
My name is Vanessa and I am eighteen years old. About a year ago my doctor put me on PaxilCR for depression, social and panic axiety. PaxilCR didn't seem to work so he switched me to Celexa I would say not even seven months ago. (Before I turned eighteen, I was on a medical card but now that I am of age, I'm no longer on the card which means meds and doctors mumbo jumbo visits aren't that cheap.) Just about a month ago, I felt that Celexa wasn't cutting it either so I then I just wanted to stop taking pills all together so I cut Celexa cold turkey which I think was the biggest mistake of my life. I haven't told my doctor I've done this because it seems now a days that they just want the money out of your pockets and I would have to go back in and get another useless check up. But my real concern is with the withdrawls. I just want to double check to make sure these are withdrawls so I don't worry myself to death. The first few days after I stopped taking Celexa, I felt really calm and relax, then as the days grew on I started getting ancy like I wanted to move constantly. Now it's even worse. I'm getting angry over everything and when I do it feels like I could rip every single piece of my hair out and then explode. Everytime I blink I get like a head rush. I'm getting headaches, not bad but noticiable. I've noticed that it's really worse when I'm alone or everyone else is sleeping, I seem to get extremely emotional at those times and feel alone and just cry. I don't really know if I can really take this anymore, so is this normal for this situation? Is it going to last long or is there some type of solution for this?
Thank you.
