Cam, thanks for your input. Question: I'm only taking 20mgs. of Celexa in the morning. Unitl I ask my doctor, would you recommend cutting that tablet in half, taking 10 mgs 2x a day, or should I double the dose? Also, in reference to the libido commentary: I tried a little experiment yesterday. You seemed to suggest that the best response to my increased libido/anorgasmia "problem" was a cold shower ;-) So I tested that theory and am posting the results here as best I can describe them: (Quit reading now if you're squeamish!)
Shower: OHGODDDDD-SH*T-BRRRRR-OWOWOWCH-GEEEZ-OOOHBRRRR-
DAM*-(SHIVER, SHIVER)-CHRI*T-BRRR-OUCH (get the picture?)The alternative:
mmmmmaaaaahooooohhhhhhyes!mmmmmmoooooohyeahohhbabyooohhhgodyesohgodogodohgodmmmooooooohhhOHGODOHGOD
OHOOOOOOGODDDDDDDDD!!!!!So I'm asking you again, (if you're still here), which would you really prefer? Just asking rhetorically, not coming on to you, although I'm hypomanic today, so who knows? Yours, Liz
(BTW, I did discover that the equipment is still working, it just needed a jump start :-)

Jacquie and Liz - Just a thought. It may not pan out, but may be worth a try. Perhaps you are metabolizing the Celexa a little faster than the rest of us (about 5% of those of European descent may) and the drug is wearing off by 2 a.m. You could try taking you dose at noon, to see if this helps. I have heard of Celexa sleep problems and have normally equated them to be similar to those of Paxil and Luvox. Like I said, this is a shot in the dark, but us an easy experiment. Try it for a couple of days and see if there are any changes in sleep patterns. Let me know the results. Good luck - Cam W.
