Barb,

Thanks for your note, it's fine don't worry. I am very scared today and feeling very low because I took my first celexa yesterday at 8.30am and because I'm not sleeping (and off work for a few days) I stayed in bed till 4pm!! When I got up and went downstairs I felt really sick and dizzy and kinda spaced out. I should mention also that I had my period start yesterday as well, which I never have a good time with anyway! I wanted to be sick but couldn't as I hadn't eaten all day and only drank a little water. After that everything went black and I couldn't see for a minute or more and then it started coming back but with white lights and spots rushing towards my eyes!! My head felt like it was going to explode and I had such a weird feeling, like I wasn't in my head anymore and got a major noise in my head. My arms and legs had major pins and needles and started feeling very strange and trembly and started shaking uncontrollably. Very scary time!!!!! My mum called in the Doctor who advised that I stop taking them and to see him soon, after bed rest. I have an appointment with him tomorrow.

Maybe the underlying problems combined with it to make me have that reaction because I can feel faint and lightheaded during my period anyway, but I also have bad sinus and an ear blockage (related to that) and have lost soooo much weight and feeling very weak and not sleeping. I am terrified to try it again or another AD now because it was so scary to go through that effect yesterday!

I feel so hopeless about this whole illness now, like nothing will help me and I know I'm not doing as much as I should to help myself, but it's so hard. Worried about taking time off my new job (although they seem to understand, they don't know it's depression and anxiety though) and my general health is very poor now and my sinus seems to be worse now as well, ears sore and head feels like it's going to explode!!

I am trying to at least drink more water (which I used to do ALL the time) but finding it hard to eat still. I'm sorry this is negative again, but you seem very supportive and I'm grateful for your advice, along with Caly and all the others on this board. Thanks, Barb

I can imagine how frightening that would be!
