No, I did not and neither has my husband. My jaw start to lock but my husband has been on celexa "successfully" for years.

Didn't gain weight on that, but did on Lamictal (at first). Go figure!

Hello all,
New to this forum~ hoping it helps me release some locked up frustration that no one really wants to listen to.... I first started to get severe panic attacks about a year and a half ago, finally went on Zoloft in April '12. Worked great except for the worst diarrhea I have ever experinced in my life...Blech! Talked to my doctor and switched to Celexa.. Mentally, I am doing fine. Took a while to have "feelings" but I am more in my "right" mind.. However, I have gained over 30 lbs since starting Celexa (about 6-7 months). I am soo grossed out by how I look that I am starting to slope back into the hermit I was a yr ago! I hate that everyone says "NO, You look great" but then gives me the sad smile! I am 5ft tall on a good day and carrying a 160lbs is no fun! My eating habits were never good, but haven't changed since I was 130 lbs. I can litterally see myself getting fatter! I gained 10 lbs in the past month!!! I didn't gain that with either of my pregancies combined! I walk, I have been eating better, I drink 40 oz of water and NOTHING is working.. I decided to cut off the celexa cold turkey and went off of it, the first two days werent so bad, I didn't loose weight, but I also didn't feel like a tick about to pop. By day 4, I couldn't believe how awful I felt. Complete withdraw, I was sick, and I was crazy!! Panic galore! Every minute of the day felt like hell and I could escape it. I am now 5 days back on the meds and the woosie feeling just started to subside. I am meeting with my Doc tomorrow... Hoping to get answers and get my life back. I know I can't take the panic attacks, but I can't take to look at myself in a mirror either. Anyone out there feel my pain???? |
