I (20F) have been on 30mg of Celexa for over a year now and I stay super tired. I’ve always been a good sleeper (no insomnia or anything) but it’s gotten a bit out of hand. I get like 13 hours of sleep a day now. I go to bed somewhere between 11:30pm-1:30am at the latest, and sleep in until somewhere between 8:30-11:00am at the extreme latest. Plus I often take a nap at some point thought the day too. I’m not doing anything that should actually warrant being this sleepy. I’m currently unemployed and don’t do anything physically demanding in my free time. I’ve gotten blood tests done and everything has come back ok. I’ve had on and off anemia (really low ferritin) for a couple years but I don’t necessarily think that’s the cause? Even when my iron/ferritin has been at a good level this has been happening. I tried to talk to my Dr about this but she didn’t really act like it was a big deal as long as my blood tests looked good? I also deal with ADHD and having low motivation which definitely doesn’t help being physically tired. Adderall helps a bit with the motivation and productivity thing but I wouldn’t say it makes me more physically energized. My diet is also definitely not the greatest (I love carbs lmao) which I’m sure doesn’t help. Does anyone else on Celexa struggle with this? Do you guys think it’s related to the medication or just my lifestyle? I’ve also been dealing with some other side effects that I’m certain are from Celexa (excessive heat intolerance, emotional blunting, and of course the “big bad” SSRI side effect) but those are more common and talked about. Being on Celexa has helped with my generalized anxiety disorder so much and made me more outgoing. I feel like it’s improved my life more than negatively affected it but some of these side effects are pretty rough. If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it. 💖

It might take me a few days to respond but I’ll try to get to all of them! OCs are welcome!
*I reserve the right to skip any character/person who is visibly NSFW or controversial. No politicians or religious figures for this reason as well.
*I also might skip characters that are beyond my skills to make into a Mii but I’ll try to at least reply if that’s the case! 🥲
*If you want a Mii of yourself please use the thread I posted a couple days ago instead of this one! I’m trying to keep things sorted since last time I got more requests than I anticipated and I want to give everyone a fair shot! :)

You can look though the comments on my profile if you want examples of past ones I’ve done :)
