Get Better Sleep And Find Natural Remedies To Cure Insomnia
I’m worried about my health, I have really bad anxiety attacks which makes my chest really sore and I’ve tried paxil, and now celexa which worked for awhile but now i have 5 or 6 panic attacks in 1 day. So will this herb pill work with the anxiety and attacks?
I am 18 years old, I take 60 MG of Celexa every day for depression and a prescribed sleeping pill every night, is that ok? Is it ok to take one every night? My doctor told me to take the pill she prescribed me if I couldn’t sleep but she did not say to take it every night. Is this ok ? I can’t sleep unless I take one.
I am on Lamictal (lamogtrine) as a mood stabilizer and the psychiatrist also prescribed Lexapro but it’s not covered on my insurance formulary. They will prescribe Celexa, but I read that there may be problems with it when taken for bipolar disorder. What medications have you had good results with?
i was prescribed celexa (citalopram) today and i took it for the first time about three hours ago. already i am feeling very nauseous and drowsy. could this be from the medication (nausea and drowsiness are common side effects) or is it too soon?
It would be my first time taking it. I’ve been on Citalopram (Celexa) 10 mg for over a month now. I’m having a lot of trouble sleeping and my doctor prescribed me one pill of Trazodone/Desyrel at bedtime.

I have been diagnosed with dysthymia as well as various phobias and IBS. I also have very severe chronic insomnia that my psychiatrist says is part of my chronic depression. I tend to sleep 2-5 hours a night, if at all. When I do sleep, I have very vivid, disturbing nightmares. So far, I’ve tried the drugs Prozac and Celexa. Neither helped with the depression; Prozac worsened my IBS and made me lose weight, although it did help a little bit with the insomnia, and Celexa killed what little was left of my appetite, made me lose ten pounds (which is pretty bad for someone with an already low BMI), worsened my sleep disorder and made me feel like I had the flu (constant puking, dizzyness and achyness).
My shrink recommends that I try Zoloft next, but a big part of me wants to stay away from SSRIs because I reacted so badly to the ones I’ve taken (both of which were supposedly "mild SSRIs"). Lately, I’ve been looking for atypical antidepressants that are helpful for sleep disorders and have little risk of weight loss or digestive side effects. I came across Remeron in my search, and a friend of mine who has been on nearly every antidepressant on the market recommends Trazodone. I’ve researched them both, and both sound equally attractive to me. I like Remeron for its reduced risk of digestive side effects and weight loss and for its superb track record for curing sleep disorders. Still, the risk of weight gain holds me back a little. I could stand to gain 10 or 20 pounds, but the idea of putting on any more weight than that does not sound at all appealing to me, and gaining obscene amounts of weight is not unheard of with Remeron. I like Trazodone, again, for its good track record with sleep disorders and lowered risk of dependency. Still, I don’t like risk of diarrhea/constipation. Also, my friend who recommended the Trazodone told me that it’s usually prescribed with another antidepressant (he took it with Zoloft). I’m very medication sensitive, even before going on psych meds (even small doses of baby aspirin and antibiotics almost always give me stomach problems), so I’d like to avoid taking a cocktail of meds if I can.
Anyone have any experience with either of these drugs? If so, how did they effect you? Which one do you think would be better for my situation?
I am probably over analyzing but I just want to make sure. My doctor told me to use Melatonin to help me sleep…I am taking a test on Tuesday for a job I REALLY want and don’t want to lose this opportunity…I am clean in every way, I don’t take any drugs other then my prescription for Celexa
I started celexa 10mg a day four weeks ago. After one week I went to 20mg a day. My anxiety has increased since startin the celexa. I get more panic attacks and am VERY restless. The celexa is also causing alot of sweating and hot flashes. I also think its making me very un-motivated and blunted. Its been a month and I havent felt any relief at all just Side effects! My libido however hasnt changed oddly enough. I also get insomnia since starting it which I NEVER had before. They say it takes weeeks to feel an effect and that the side effects will subside but as far as I can tell they are actually getting worse as time goes on. Anyone on celexa or was on it that had these same problems. I am thinking of tapering off or cuttting back to 10mg and see what happens. what do you think?
I’m 20 years old and I have a sleeping problem. I can sleep a 13 hour night and I am still dead tired only a couple hours later, and I go back to sleep, i just can’t get enough. I always want to lay down and I can’t even get a job because of htis. I’m always tired. I take Celexa for anxiety, but that’s it. This has been going on for the past few months. I would go to the doctor but I don’t have insurance, so do you have any ideas?
I have been taking celexa forever, i’ve never had this, i’m sure it’s not from that
