Im wondering (along with my husband and my Dr) if either:
A. The prolonged use of Celexa caused some sort of nerve damage.
B. The sudden stopping of Celexa caused some sort of reaction that is presenting as nerve damage
C. If the Viibryd alone caused this painful reaction and somehow damaged my nerves
D. The combo of coming off the celexa after that long and that fast..and then going on the viibryd made it even worse and now I have nerve damage
I feel like the timing of the onset of pain is just to much to be a coincidence? Meaning I cant believe I just had a nerve problem all along (or rather developed a problem while taking the Celexa) and that Im just now aware because Im no longer taking it?
I made up a sort of timeline thing to go in my signature but havent put it in there yet:
Started Celexa to treat panic/anxiety/agoraphobia around the beginning of 2008. Tapered only a few days starting April 30th 2014 (per Drs orders) and took my last pill May 4th 2014. (Was on Celexa roughly 6 years)
Started Viibryd 10mg May 5th 2014 and tapered up to 20mg, then 40mg around June 29th or so. Was on that dosage until July 13th when I was told to stop cold turkey by psychiatrist due to adverse reaction. (Was on Viibryd around 2 mths total)
Presently on NO medication
**Experiencing severe nerve/joint pain mainly in feet but also knees and a few other places since starting on the 40 mg dosage of Viibryd. No prior injuries or history of pain. (panic and agoraphobia have set back in since stopping but I expected that)
