Default Celexa anyone?

Okay, after being soooooo sad for soooooo long I finally got in to my GP to discuss it. I explained to her my biggest disappointment in my life has been the gradual deterioration of wanting to drive. I told her that it started out with an "off balance" feeling behind the wheel almost as if I were floating. Obviously it would freak me out. I went through this off and on for some time quite regularly and it caused me to get phobic about even trying to drive. Even the good days found me more phobic than not.

She seemed to listen and asked me to try Celexa commonly perscribed for anxiety, panic, phobia, OCD, and even PTSD as well as depression. Its another Seratonin increaser. Most common side effect is headache which she said would go away in a short time period.

Took one yesterday.....yepper.....headache. Woke me up at 4 am and forced me to take a tylenol so I could get back to sleep.

I am willing to give this drug a try and realize so many of us have different experiences with the same drugs.

The doc did say to me....."Well, lets give this a try for 30 days and hopefully you will come see me in 30 days by driving here yourself. If not, then we'll try something else until we find something that helps you regain some control. AND SHE WANTED TO GET SOME CONTROL BEFORE THE WHOLE THING MAKES ME TOTALLY DEPRESSED.
YAY! Someone finally understood

Anyone else tried this drug?
