I am currently weening off my celexa (30mg) and all I’ve seen in this sub are horror stories of coming off. I’m currently doing 5mg decreases every 2-3 weeks. I started my 25 mg dose yesterday but the horror stories are terrifying me and making my ocd go through the roof. Can yall PLEASE share some success stories of coming off so I can stop panicking about it?
I’m starting to ween off my celexa this week so I can start a new med for my OCD. I’m at 30 mg, I’m supposed to ween off 5 mg per week. I’m really scared to start weening off because I’m worried about the side effects. Has anyone gotten off of it and what did you experience weening off?
A little over a week ago I had a horrific adrenaline dump at work, was convinced I was in SVT, and it was horrible. Today I had one so bad, I stood up to go to the bathroom, had to stumble to my fridge to try to get Gatorade because I was about to faint (I never do so this was weird), and I basically threw myself into the bathtub and sprayed myself with cold water. I ended up in the ER because my heart rate simply would not relax, but by the time I got an EKG it had slowed down to around 120 and they ruled out SVT at the time of the EKG. It was the most horrifying thing, I threw up, defected, everything that could happen happened. All while in the fucking shower (disgusting I’m sorry but true) I truly thought I was going to die. I don’t know how to handle these because I’ve never had them this bad in my life. Any advice?
My poor mother’s teeth are absolutely destroyed from years of vomiting due to health conditions as well as alcoholism 15 years ago. She is horribly self conscious about them, and is looking into options for implants. She went to an appt today, and they made her feel so embarrassed about her teeth as if she wasn’t already, and basically said they can’t do anything in the time frame she hoped for and they promised her. My sister is getting married in June, and she wants her teeth to look nice for the day. Is there any sort of retainer that is white that looks like teeth that can be made for her to wear over her normal teeth just temporarily until she can get her implants? I don’t know if this exists, I’ve seen some “fake veneers” online that are basically that, but I just want to find her an option that’ll make her feel a little better about herself when the day comes.
