Greg,
Thanks for asking. I'm really, really glad to hear you're doing well. I'll knock on wood over here for you, too.
Oh, would that I could do the same thing at work! Ugh! There's this arrogant new guy in the office who is trying to take everything over. Grrrrr.
The Neurontin got upped about 6 weeks ago or maybe a little more. It with the Wellbutrin helped, but weren't doing the job completely. I was still irritable, so my pdoc added Celexa. I'm just finishing my 3rd week on 10mg, which was supposed to be a starting dose. I was supposed to be on 20mg two weeks ago. It makes me so fatigued that I can't take more than 10, although the fatigue seems to be not as severe. It's messing up my sleep though, which isn't good (keep waking up at 4 am and not being able to go back to sleep). I am waiting for/hoping for these *&%$@# side effects to wear off. Otherwise, I fear I'll be put on an MAOI. I see him again tomorrow.
I had a pretty bad day today. I discovered one of my 3 cats dead in my house this morning. He was only 6. It was quite a shock. The vet thinks it was a heart condition and he dropped dead. It was horrible trying to pick his stiff body up off the living room floor. Went into work late. I couldn't imagine staying home and dwelling on it, but was fairly useless. One thing I have noticed about this Celexa is that things that used to get my goose don't anymore (my eccentric dad is a good example). However, I have not been able to cry much either today, and am wondering if I am becoming emotionless (again) -- this time via Celexa.
Anyway, it was nice of you to ask. (I hope I haven't blabbed on too much.) Take care and give my best to Cam.
Sincerely,
Allison
