Hello groupies,

In the past week, I switched from Celexa to Paxil and back to Celexa...I thought i was worse on Paxil and now i feel bad on Celexa...more spacey, especially...and it gives me a stomach ache and nausea...i feel stoned!!

Trying to figure out why I feel so horrible is driving me nuts. I know i need to distract myself and start a craft...but it takes gargantuan strength to start anything...I don't think my adderall is helping

I can't seem to stop ruminating and dwelling on my situation and the negativity is tough to turn into a positive attitude. I am a Christian and should be more optimistic but don't feel in control of my mind and it's so scary...I feel like a zombie...At least i'm not dizzy like yesterday and was able to run some errands;o)

I'm feeling isolated living in my mom's house and don't go out much because of my fibro and dizziness from withdrawal...I know this won't last and realize i'm being impatient.

Can anxiety cause depression and do they work together, making the other worse? Sometimes I'm not sure if my anxiety is causing my depression or the other way around? Clonopin helps me so that's positive but I just want to isolate....anyone else want to isolate? We've discussed this in other threads, so it's nothing new...

My next appointment with my psych doc is in two weeks...he agreed to start bead counting so that's something to be thankful for, I guess.

Thanks for reading this and I appreciate any feedback..God bless you all!

IBS

 

Nearly all the ssri and snri can cause the 'Zombie' effect.

 

Absolutely anxiety and depression are related. My psychologist says they are opposite sides of the same coin. I know in my case when I am going through a few days of anxiety, when they end I always have a couple days of rebound depression.

 

I am glad you dr agreed to the bead counting. Wise man.

IBS, you sound like me ATM ... Yes I feel like isolating too because of the anxiety & depression , it's hard to socialize when feeling like we do . The one friend we have to trust now is our friend TIME .. Time will heal all wounds & wound all heals !!!. I'm hanging in there with you !!!!...
