Again, Thank you all *****sponded to my earlier posts on depression meds.....

I have been on Celexa now for 10 days and I already feel a difference, I also feel the side effects.....Tired, dry mouth, headaches.....But it really is worth it because I'm feeling HAPPY again.....It's been awhile since I've felt happiness, or "normal."

I still am confused on some things in my life, but am really trying to work them out.

I've found that going for bike rides energizes me, but yet calms me. The sounds of the birds chirping, the wind moving over the swamp grasses, the smell of grass freshly cut, it's fun exercise......

Cheers to depression medicine......And cheers to all of us......

Congrats on finding something that works for you! If it makes you tired, see if you can take your meds at night, instead of in the morning. Check with the doc!

Best of luck to you.

Ditto to all the above...  My psychiatrist always reminds me, meds won't cure it, but will help you cope with it..  Just another tool in the arsenal!!  Keep hangning in there!
Every opinion we share, every favor we perform, every moment we intently listen to someone talk about themselves is our opportunity to pass along something positive to a person who needs us.
