I really do not feel the Celexa is doing what it should. The severe stomach cramps I was dealing with did go away, yet I still have the anxiety. Today my doctor decided to increase the dose I take and if that doesn't work, she wants to add something to it.

As for the thyroid, I had to practically force the issue. To be honest, the doc I had today was a PA and she had no idea what a thyroid antibodies test is--she pulled out her little computer and looked it up. Finally she realized I knew what I was talking about and ordered the test done.

Why should we have to go to the doctor with the knowledge of what we have to get treated? I swear they would bury me in anti-depressants just to quiet me.
