Great info, Halliebeth! I will ask the pdoc about Ativan PRN. So, do you have Celexa daily? Do you take it with anything else? I took Celexa (an SSRI as you know I am sure) years ago, and it worked for depression for a few months, then quit.

I am not actually sure which of the SSRIs it was that had the really unfortunate side effect that -- I could not stand to be around men - if one came close, I felt the physical urge to reach out and physically push him away! That's would be a terrible thing to happen again!!!!!!!!!

I'm actually surprised that the pdoc records do not have accurate, detailed records of what the side effects were for me (or any of us) when we stopped taking a particular medication. They don't put this into their charts, apparently, and I was not instructed to keep these records myself over the years. I have done so more recently, but for 20 years have "tried" so many anti-depressants, mood levelers, and "newer anti-psychotics" that I have no idea what they all were, nor why I got off each one. Some worked, some didn't, none of them worked over the long haul except for Effexor, which caused osteoporosis. I think it worked for maybe 5-6 years before I had to get off it due to that.
