Withdrawals Again
I'm going through withdrawals from the Celexa again. I'm getting migraines and body aches, as well as depression. I'm on my full dose of Prozac now, and it's giving me dry mouth. I've been drinking water and Crystal Light like crazy. I wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom since I've been drinking so much water. I also have been sucking on cough drops at night to counter the dry mouth. At least that's the only side effect so far. I did lose some weight today, but tomorrow I think I'm going to have gained since I went over my calories today by a lot. It's mostly since I didn't do any exercise. I did go to the grocery store, but that's just about all. I only got like 2,000 steps in today. I was just too sore to go for my walk. I've been going between my bed and recliner for most of the day. I did cook ribs and rice for dinner, but that was easy. Tomorrow I want to do meatloaf. I just have to watch my calories.

Prozac was bad for me. I had a lot of side effects. I wish you the best with that. I know each person has to find what works for them. I drink Crystal Light, but I don\'t like it. I guess my favorite is tea simply because I get tired of that diet taste. I bet you are going to the bathroom a lot and it gets worse as you age, called every hour or two. Meatloaf sounds good, hope you enjoy that.
I hate to hear you are feeling so bad. I am too today. Matter of fact they called me at the last minute for another client, but I didn\'t go. I don\'t have to go since it is not my regular client.
Do you have anything for the migraines? Lord, I go through those side effects every time they change my meds. Lights, noise, they all make me feel bad. I was wondering what type of work you do.
I just hope you get to feeling better, but that takes time, I know. I also have to deal with Parkinson\'s. so I am sick a lot. Hugs Larissa and thanks for being a friend.
I am sorry the wihdrawals are back esp. since you are on the Prozac. I have never had migraines, I cant even handle a sinus headache. I tried Prozac but it didn\'t help me. it tokk a long time to find the right mix of meds to counter the depression and anxiety, I am on multples of each. please try and not worry about the weight, I know, the pot calling the kettle black, put weighing yourself every day is setting you up for anxiety over the weight. meatloaf sounds good, how do you make it? hopefully you feel better and can get outside and have a nice walk. hugsss
Lucy, I normally take Excedrin Migraine for my migraines, but I also have Imitrex if that doesn\'t work. I volunteer at a local low income clinic. It\'s hard for me because my boss is a control freak, so I\'m going to try going in earlier to avoid her.
Ann, my meatloaf is easy. Just mix ground beef, an egg, some bread crumbs and barbecue sauce. I eyeball everything, so I can\'t give you an exact recipe. I normally make 2-3 pounds at a time. it only lasts one night, because Geo stays up until all hours of the night and eats it as a late night snack.
if you could swim in a pool somewhere, maybe another apartment complex (no one checks anyway), there wouldn\'t be any pain from exercise.
sounds very difficult to be on a lot of meds. i have 4 myself, but i want the cholesterol one gone. i have plans for that. lol. flax seed meal, hope it works, but not yet. as soon as its allll the way down, i think.
xxoo
your meat loaf sounds reallllly good!
The apartment complex next to mine is owned by the same company and they have a pool, but the pool in my complex has been broken for years. I see a pool guy every now and then, but that\'s about it.
