I did the dumbest thing. I am on Celexa for my ibs. It helps with the pain and cramps a lot. When I moved to the states I needed my precription written by a US doctor. So the doctor I went to told me that Celexa for ibs was absurd and that if I'm not despressed that I should go off it. She did tell to me ween off slowly but she made me feel like a moron for taking it.
So what did I do? I stopped taking it. First for 2-3 days I just took half a pill and then I stopped altogether. So what was the result? I feel SOOOOOOO crazy today. (Poeple on these boards with mental health issues have my symapthy X 100!) I have been SOOOOOOOOOO moody, irritable, depressed and just feeling awful. Poor Tommy.
So now that I know that I DO infact need my Celexa I have started taking the full dose again. But it looks like it's going to take a couple of days (or more) for me to feel normal again.
The only trouble is that the doc only wrote me a prescription for 30 days with a "DO NOT REFILL" note on the prexcription. So now I have to find a brand new doctor in NY that will refill my prescription. Maybe I should just say I'm depressed as doctors here might not know about the ibs and AD link???
Also, I do think I have an underlining anxiety problem and taking Celexa has been very beneficial in my life.
I just want to feel normal again. I feel like I have a horrendous case of PMS. Aaagh!!!!!!!
To make matters worse, Tommy's upstairs neighbours were insanely noisy today (no idea why- construction or just very loud friends over???) and it drove me a bit over the edge. I had to take a walk just to get a break from it.
