Celexa For Cats Anxiety Information

Best Answers

Is it anxiety/depression? I have had chronic panic attacks before. I had actually been on Celexa for 2 years and quit cold turkey in April 2006. I had been fine until August when I started to have vertigo/light headedness. I have had it since. At this point also I would be weepy crying for no reason. So I went to try the celexa again and it made me more anxious and when I wasn't having an attack, I was falling asleep. So they took me off this after 4 days. I swore I would not go on the anti depressants again. Even though I don’t feel anxious, Since then I am still light headed everyday. I feel bouts of fatigue throughout the day, chills, tingleys all over, chest pain, shortness of breath, constipation, and circulation problems that involve my fingertip swelling occasionally and my hand and feet turn purple or sometimes reddish. Some times they are really cold other times they become very hot. I have had numerous tests. A MRI of the head. An abdominal Cat scan. An EKG on my heart not to mention several blood tests. The only thing that has come up is my bilirubin has elevated to 2.7, LIver enzymes are perfect they say. I have had a hepatitis profile done and everything is normal, I am even still immune to Hep B. My doctor seems to think my symptoms have become asymptomatic and that my anxiety is coming out in different ways. Has anyone else felt like this? Can My symptoms that happen everyday really be anxiety/depression?

jonnyraven replied: "yes they can be. You have had a lot of testing done and had there been other problems they probably would have surfaced. You may want to try a different combination of drugs"

sandy_cheeks1234 replied: "I think you quiting your cellexa cold turkey was beginning of your problems... If your anti-d quits working for you... you are to never quit it that way... your doctor would have directed you to wean yourself off one and them maybe slowing increase you into another... Why did you quit the cellexa??? did it become ineffective??? I have been on cellexs for 5 years... it has help my anxiety and I have been more alert... less angry and less bouts of the blues. Go to your doctor... he should know of an anti-d that has a reputation for the symtoms you described... Good Luck!!!"

nationofswine replied: "I'm not a doctor, but have had panic disorder since I was a child. Nothing worked until I was given the drug "Klonopin" (also known as the generic 'clonazepam'). It works wonderfully, but after several people overdosed on drugs RELATED to it (like valium), the AMA and Doctors and Pharmaceutical industry launched a campaign to stop prescribing it, EVEN WHEN IT WORKED! THey weren't about to lose money, so they came up with ANOTHER CLASS OF DRUGS: ANTIDEPRESSANTS. These are (usually) fine...IF you're actually depressed! Your symptoms sound like classic panic disorder to me, however. One thing you should know about the current treatment of panic attacks: doctors are practically BRAINWASHED now into prescribing antidepressants for this, when people who have panic disorder may or may NOT be depressed! They're even inventing "diseases" ("social anxiety"...we all it SHYNESS!)...just to sell more drugs. Doctors are notoriously not up-to-date on pharmaceutical info, and they often get rewards (like trips!) for prescribing drugs to people who really don't need them. If you are experiencing symptoms while ON the anti-depressants...I would stop taken them now. If you have had the panic disorder for awhile, seek out a therapist who really understands them (few do) and will work with you to get the right medication (Klonopin works best, in most people) AND a type of "Self-talk" therapy called "cognitive-behavioral". Don't let the drug companies and ignorant physicians ruin your life! Stay informed. Here's one link below, that will give you info on medications and side effects."

beautyofthesea replied: "I suggest you continue to see your doctor for follow up care. And maybe even seek out counseling. If you have had a multitude of tests and they come out normal there could be many reasons why. Sometimes our minds play tricks on our body and what we feel is real, but at the same time there is nothing wrong. That is called hypochondria. That's not to say that is what you are experiencing, just something thrown out there that you may want to consider. It's common when you have anxiety/panic attack issues. My boyfriend has the same problem. But also consider that with the anti-depressants, you may be having side effects still from withdrawing from them since you took them for several years. Another thing to consider is Fibroymyalgia which displays symptoms of wide spread pain and sometimes numbness in various parts for your body. This is usually after a period of time when you have had trouble sleeping. So I ask do you sleep ok at night? Hope you get better."

Theresa B replied: "I would get a second opinion from another doctor. Then I would start going to a therapist. I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. I also get slightly depressed and I am a survivor of 1 heart attack. I have 1 stent and I am on meds for cholesterol and high blood pressure. You could be under some stress that you don't even understand. Maybe stress over these symptoms. One more thing maybe have yourself checked for Diabeties. If your over 40 it can also be early meopose. Seek these answers from a female doctor. Try meditation to relax until you get some answers."

What does Anxiety/Depression/Depersonalization feel like to you? i've been diagnosed with panic disorder and have been taking klonopin (clonazepam) to help ease the symptoms. (i went to the ER twice feeling like i was having heart attack before i knew what this was). My dr put me on celexa but after 3 weeks i felt really sick on it, and disconected from reality so i stopped taking it. ive been trying to deal with my symptoms without antidepressents because i dont think its worth the side affects but lately ive been starting to feel strange. i've been hypervigalant (says my dr) thinking coat racks are people, thinking my cat is sitting on my bed but its just a purse. sometimes i feel the presence of someone in the room but there is no one there. not hallucinations since they go away when i look or turn around. also my concentration is really bad and i cant really read or watch tv because i forget what i was just reading or i cant seem to focus. my dr wants me to start taking another antidepressent (zoloft) but im very hesitant but at this point my symptoms are so bad im leaning toward trying it. i've been having depersonalization so bad also that i cant eat dinner with my family it doesnt even feel like im there, when im walking around i feel like im not conscious of my being. its a really horrible feeling and it makes me so much more anxious. does anyone have any experiences with zoloft? did it work? i dont want this depersonalization to get worse. i want to feel normal again. Are these normal symptoms of anxiety and or depression? How does anxiety/depression feel like to you? Any depersonalization experiences? its very frightning and its gotten to the point where im afraid of my own thoughts. thanks so much.

Bert replied: "Depression feels like you have lost all hope. Imagine if you will, a second heartbeat within the core of your body. This heartbeat is not a physical entity that pumps lifeblood, but it is an emotional heartbeat that with each beat gives off an immense wave of negativity. This wave is one that is immersed with failed dreams (imagine your biggest dream, shattered and spat in your face repeatedly), anger, sadness, hopelessness, despair, all things that are negative in nature. Now, complemented with Anxiety, it can be a very scary thing. Anxiety exposes to your brain a frightening reality. You may become paranoid and wonder exactly how stupid you look, or if your lip is chapped. You may begin to panic in situations that involve people. There are many other things I 'cannot' write here because of lack of time and space. Needless to say, I am writing a novel on a reflection of my life (and adding bits to it so it can be a story as well) that hold my ideas, opinions and thoughts while I am immersed in depression, anxiety and psychosis (and thinking suicidal) It is for the reason of questions like yourself just asked, that I am doing so. It is a horrifying novel, because depression and anxiety is horrifying. It seems to me though, that you are suffering from some hallucinations. They may only just be beginning, which is why they only stay temporarily. I know that I can sometimes hear my name being called, or see a figure beside the fridge when I close it. If I focus on the figure though, it vanishes. If you suffer from delusions as well, you may likely suffer from psychosis. I also know for a fact that when I drive or walk, I can also feel like I'm not concious of my being. The family at dinner scenario is also reminiscnent of my own experiences. Talk to your doctor about these, and offer depression, anxiety and psychosis (perhaps its a mix of the three) as probable reasons. Goodluck."

Danielle replied: "If you were pretty drunk you may have hit your head and not remember. I would seek a second opinion from another doctor. Maybe go to your family doctor and they can refer you to a specialist. A sudden change in behavior (the anxiety and such) is not normal and needs to be checked further just in case. Good luck!"

Amber replied: "sounds like you just have a bad case of anxiety. You're not going nuts, even though you feel like it. I went through the same thing, I thought I was going insane and soon i would be in a mental hospital. I took the right meds, and learned to cope and now i feel perfectly fine! Check out DailyStrength.com. I found the site very helpful, there are so many people on there that are going through the same thing you are!"

Kara N replied: "How long have you been on celexa? Have you given it time to work? I know I sound like a stoned hippie when I say this, but when I'm super stressed I sneak into the bathroom and do Tai Chi. Something about the slow controlled movements and breathing calms me down. Maybe it's your sinus causing your ear troubles. I can always breathe through my nose but when my sinus get congested my ears hurt. Do your ears feel better after a long steamy shower? How's your diet? Do you drink a lot of caffeine?"

unstable1 replied: "Talk to the doctor and tell him the medicine isn't working for you, my son has a lot of issues and (so do I) it took several trials with different medications before we got one that helped. Just explain to him like you do here and ask if there is something else you can try. Most doctors are willing to work with you on this, and if they're not find a new one that will. Try looking up ways to irrigate your ear, like with oil or peroxide that could be what you need to do there."

UK Oldie replied: "Scans don't always show where there is a problem, neither do xrays. They are not 100%. (had both on my knee, nothing was seen. I went back to Doc & he referred me to Orthopaedic Surgeon. Had knee surgery July - a flap of bone had been somehow shaved off the lower end of my thigh bone behind kneecap - now I am 100% again.) So I think you need to go back to Doc with ear problem. Anxiety - you could ask Doc how long it takes for Celexa to kick in. It might be one of those drugs that needs time before the benefits are felt. If it should have worked by now ask if there is anything else you can try. Hope you get well soon. uk"

nehevea11 replied: "Racing thoughts and not sleeping are symptoms of mania (like in bipolar disorder). You ought to see a psychiatrist and be evaluated for a mental disorder such as bipolar."

thorn105 replied: "I agree with the bipolar scenario. Sure sounds that way to me, and I should know. You totally should get assessed ASAP, and don't drink any more alcohol, whatever you do - it makes the rushing thoughts AND the anxiety much much worse. The alcohol didn't cause it, but increased it enough to get your attention."

Stephen Fry replied: "I would check out the medication as it has quite a few side-effects: gastro-intestinal effects (dose-related and fairly common—include nausea, vomiting, dyspepsia, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, constipation), anorexia with weight loss (increased appetite and weight gain also reported) and hypersensitivity reactions including rash (consider discontinuation—may be sign of impending serious systemic reaction, possibly associated with vasculitis), urticaria, angioedema, anaphylaxis, arthralgia, myalgia and photosensitivity; other side-effects include dry mouth, nervousness, anxiety, headache, insomnia, tremor, dizziness, asthenia, hallucinations, drowsiness, convulsions (see Cautions above), galactorrhoea, sexual dysfunction, urinary retention, sweating, hypomania or mania (see Cautions above), movement disorders and dyskinesias, visual disturbances, hyponatraemia (see Hyponatraemia and Antidepressant Therapy), and bleeding disorders including ecchymoses and purpura. Suicidal behaviour has been linked with antidepressantspalpitation, tachycardia, postural hypotension, coughing, yawning, confusion, impaired concentration, malaise, amnesia, migraine, paraesthesia, abnormal dreams, taste disturbance, increased salivation, rhinitis, tinnitus, polyuria, micturition disorders, euphoria; paradoxical increased anxiety during initial treatment of panic disorder (reduce dose) CITALOPRAM is not recomended for younger people."

phil replied: "This is pretty wild but it sounds like you could be having anxiety attacks but I dont know where the crackling ears and jaw come in there. You should see a psychologist (not psychiatrist, they prescribe pills) and explain what happens. Maybe even go see an endocrinologist and tell him/her about not being able to sleep for a week and your other symptoms too. Hope you feel better once you've talked to one of these experts."

snoofy 10 replied: "i don't think this has anything to do with the drinking episode. so try to forget about that and don't drink so much next time as it is not good for you. as to what it could be who knows. perhaps allergies, or tmj (do you grind your teeth when you sleep?). are your lymph glands swollen in your neck or jaw? wait and watch for other signs then get it checked out. but it is not connected to the drinking episode so stop worrying about this. take your time and you'll figure out what it is. if you continue to have sleep problems i would say you might have to address with your doctor and perhaps change medications. but try to relax and not worry so much. you don't have brain damage because you drank too much. relax."

What should I do? I just went to the doctor today and he precribed me Celexa for depression and Klonopin for anxiety. The problem is, my entire family except for my husband feels I "don't need" the Celexa. And they disagree that my doctor could diagnois me with depression with just one office vist. You see I'm currently living with my daughter and husband in my mothers house because we lost our home and moved away and came back, and he just now got a good job so now we can start to save to get our own place. Two of my cats are having to live with my grandmother and one of my dogs at a friends house, so my "family" isn' all together right now. So my family says I'm not depressed, just sad and NOT to take the Celexa that I'll be fine when my life gets back in order. That just the Klonipin is all I need. However, I PERSONALLY feel that I've had depression for some years now and this whole experience has just magnified my problem. So I was just wondering what you thought? How do I get my family to understand why I need it? Or do I just not tell them I'm taking it and deal with my doctor alone? Please help. I'm 26 yrs old. Married for 4yrs.

Victoria S replied: "Goodness, you have had a run of bad luck, and certainly you are feeling a bit sad about all of this? On the other hand, this may be an opportunity to count your blessings. While you may be experiencing depression, prescription medication may or may not be the answer for you. You may wish to listen to what others have done in your situation, with nutrition. Check out the links."

redelman4319 replied: "Call your doctor and ask him/her to educate your parents on why you need your medication and the consequence them not letting you taking it. All though your parents usually are the people to listen to, however if it comes to medicine a responsible parent should take the advice of a doctor and not second guess them. Unless your parents are MD's themselves you should still follow the advice the doctor gave you. FOLLOW UP-Whoa Wait A minuite! Your 24? Why are you worried about your parents oppinion on taking the medication! Your the one that should be making the adult decisions. Well anyways if you want your parents to understand why you need it, you can ask your doctor to educate them about it."

rhonda c replied: "tell them that you think you need it. talk to your doc about being able to stop if you feel that it is unnecessary. but remember that this is your way of life your talking about. you want to live the best way you know how and this might be what you need. i hope you don't need it but you have to keep an open mind and docs are wrong all the time. so if your gut is saying "hay you need help" then get it"

koldsauce12 replied: "You should take it, depression isn't the same as sad, it's not something someone can "will out of it" (well..maybe some people can, cheers to them). The reason they think that is because they are un-educated about it. Somehow find a way to teach them about it; from my understanding it's an imbalence of serotonin (sp?) in your brain. Once you get that all explained, it'll be easier for them to accept that this is truy whats happening. -random side note- Oh how I hate people like them and the people who think multi-vitamens are useless...My theory is that they look at their ancestors and say, well they lived well...we can model them."

guatemama replied: "I've been on Wellbutrin, Prozac and Lexapro at different times for different things. Each time I got the "are you sure you know what your doing" look and sometimes even some short lectures on all the SIDE EFFECTS and WARNINGS on each medication. The truth is, YOU are the one that is dealing with all the emotions. I wouldn't bother trying to explain to your family. Do what you feel your body needs you to do and leave it at that. If they ask questions simply say that your are under a doctor's care and are feeling better. (I'm sure you will feel better once the doctor finds what works best for you.) Maybe once your family sees you less stressed they will realize that you REALLY were doing what was best for you. My family finally realized that. It took them a few years, but they finally trust my judgement with my own healthcare and don't second guess me all the time. Good luck."

gardensallday replied: "I don't think it's any of their business if you take it. If they are bugging you about it, you can tell them that you feel you need it, and you want to see if it helps. If they keep after you, you can repeat that as often as necessary (the "broken record" technique). Hubby knows best, because he hears all about your heartaches in a way no one else does. "I'm glad that you are concerned about me, mom, but I think that I need to take something, and I want to try this medication and see if it helps." "Oh, wow, that's an interesting point!! I will look that up, but really, I think I need this and I really want to try it." etc. etc. People take aspirin without a thought for a headache, but don't think you should take a pill for persistent emotional pain. If you honestly think you have depression, a medication is appropriate, if you want to try that. You should decide, not your mom or siblings."

jessica replied: "you know what? youve gone throught alot and you are depressed leave your case over to god good luck and YOU are the one who is taking the pills and your family should mind their own buisness because they need to have respect for theyre mom and take the pills without your family knowing, for the pills help you feel better and the doctor is not stupid, and he agrees with your case and is tring to help you and u diserve a pampering, go to the spa and give yourself an award your husband works right? well anyway im sure you could get away with taking the pills ill pray for you an dhope god will help you, i would take the Celexia because its for my own good hope best happens!!!!! =]"

CLICKHEREx replied: "Only you know how badly you are feeling right now, but long term medication is never a good thing, although sometimes necessary. Whatever decision, medications can take up to 5 weeks to be fully effective, so practice for 20 mins daily, and whenever needed in future, the method in Meditation room; try it out; mantra meditation; repeat: "easy". Tai Chi & yoga suit some. Work slowly up to exercising for 30 - 60 mins, daily; eat healthily & keep occupied. After some months, if feeling better, see your doctor about reducing the dosage slowly; many people manage to cope well just by using the above techniques."

Ezra Zane replied: "Do what you feel is right. I've had my family tell me I don't need my meds...until they see me off of them for a week."

Contemplating leaving my boyfriend of two years? So before I pose my question, I need to give a few details about myself. I am 19 years old, and have been with my boyfriend for two years. We lived together for a 6 month period during our first year together, and while we were living together my depression (which was undiagnosed at that time) soared to new heights. I had to move back in with my parents because I was unable to be left alone for any period of time because my family was afraid I might do something to hurt myself. Which I did: I threw myself into furniture, antagonized my cat so she would scratch and bite me, and chew on my knuckles until they bled. After moving back home, I was starting on 10mg a day Celexa which is an anti-anxiety medication. I've been on it for over a year and I'm using counseling services which have helped me regain my mental health. But recently, almost a month ago, my boyfriend of two years broke up with me over the computer, insisting that he just didn't feel the same way about me anymore. I was devastated, and my parents were so worried about me that they hid my medication as well as all of our sharp kitchen cutlery (I have a history of self mutilation). My doctor changed my prescription to 15mg daily of my medication to help me deal with my anxiety because I could not even leave my bed. I was doing okay with the new dosage, and I even started talking to a guy that I had dated three years prior to now (he was almost my first sexual partner). He confessed that he still had feelings for me after all of these years and had wanted to get back together with me but never said anything because he didn't want to cause me any stress. He broke up with me after his father passed away and it was a very sudden thing, and my feelings for him have lingered since. My ex boyfriend, the one who had just dumped me, then started sending me emails, telling me that he only broke up with me because he thought he wasn't making me happy, and that he was moving to a new apartment and wanted to get back together. I took him back and apologized to the previous boyfriend, told him though I still had feelings for him that my boyfriend and I had been together for 2 years and that we were going to try and sort things out. Well it's been almost a month since we got back together, and I'm starting to notice that if I don't talk to him while we are together for a period of time he thinks I'm mad at him and gets sulky. If I don't sit next to him while we are watching a movie, he gets sulky. He craves sex often, and one of my side effects from my medication is a low sex drive and he still insists that "you'll get into it once we start." I think my feelings have changed since we broke up for that two week period. I don't look forward to his daily calls, I find his insistence on sex when I don't want to annoying, and I don't get the butterflies in my stomach when I think about him. I'll have days where I can say I still love him, but the days where I think I don't outnumber them. Instead, I find myself dreaming and thinking about my previous boyfriend more and more. I've always had the butterflies when I saw him, and we live in a small town so that is fairly often. I've always harbored a secret love for him as he was my first, and I find myself thinking about leaving my boyfriend now to be with him again. So heres my actual question (sorry the explanation was so long) : is my new medication dosage the reason for my lack of love for my boyfriend anymore, or is the fact that his attitude and my previous boyfriends confession of still caring for me has driven us apart? He doesn't suspect anything, and I get a little upset when I think of leaving him, but I really don't know what to do. I don't want to hurt him, but I don't want to keep living with my uncertainty. It's not fair to either of us. Please only serious answers, as this is a very big problem for me.

Ocimom replied: "IMO I don't think you need to have any boyfriends for awhile. You need to work on yourself - get well and stable and set goals for what you really want. Work on liking yourself and being happy - without another person involved. When you reach that point, you will be able to give yourself to another with confidence."

Harriet replied: "I don't know if the medication can do that. I think it's most likely that things have run their course with the boyfriend. The confession from the ex probably didn't help that either (though remember it may not work out with him). As you're unhappy currently with the bf, and he did break it off in a not so nice way, despite his excuses, I would say don't stick with him if he's making you unhappy. You say you don't want to hurt him, but he hurt you - maybe a break-up would actually be good. You're only 19 and a bit unwell, so I don't think this is the point where you should be working hard to salvage a bad relationship. It doesn't seem worth it. Harriet"

jude replied: "i would think that if your still thinking of your ex, that u shouldn't be with the man your with now. because it will hurt a relationship when your thinking of someone else."
