Me
After 20+ years on Celexa aka citalopram I’m finally off it successfully! I can tell you the first 5 years I felt it worked then the disaster began from sexual issues to increased anxiety heart palpitations what began to go work ended me up in nightmare situations. With that said I’ve been completely off it for months now. I got through the brain Zaps a lightheadedness a weird nightmares I’m glad to say I’m 100% out of the big phama game. It was my goal to get away and living more a clean sober ish lifestyle. I can tell you my journey being first on ritalin at age 6 in early 1990’s only after a few months I was diagnosed Tourette’s syndrome for nearly 10 years later my life was a complete mess with non stop changing in medications to causing numerous health issues from side effects the list went on for me. Finally at age 14 I stopped taking my meds and my ticks like practically went away almost I will still have them on/off but no where nearly as bad when I was in meds. Fast forward clean on no meds till 18 the anxiety/panic attacks came a which created another nightmare pt. 2. I think a lot of this stemmed from being beaten at very young age till I was 16/17 by my farther I almost killed him the abuse towards me and my mother an the black out anger went to extreme after the one time when I was older beating my father up he would never fought me or my mother again on top of that being sexually melosted at a young age I’ve had a hard life I feel but I’ve still somehow managed to push through all of this I’m now 39 years old and pushing as strong an healthy as I can be I just wanted to share my story because you your self can make it out alive. I wanna thank EDMR for 2 years also really changing my life around it really did work for me. I’m so happy to be away from antidepressants and pills in general I’m starting to feel I see the real me I never really have. Please ask me any questions you’d like and thanks for reading this an hoping you can get something positive out of this. Sorry I’m not the best writer whatsoever peace and love!
