Bubs are you still on?

kelly&paul

Drug question for you if you are. Celexa, I know one of the side effects is fatigue but what about total exhaustion? I started taking it last Thursday and by Saturday I could barely function I was so exhausted. Friday was bad but I felt like I was a walking zombie Sat. Good thing dh was home, Saturday I sat down on the couch and fell asleep in about a minute. Like a dope I forgot to call my dr today and ask about it. Thanks.

When are you taking it??

kelly&paul

at night before bed.

What dosage are you taking?

It could be that that dose is too high, especially to start.  It could also be that that's not the right choice of drug for you.  You may need to be tried on one of the other drugs in the class. 

kelly&paul

it is 40 mg

BubblyToes

Holyshit. 

You've never taken it before?  That is entirely too high of a dose to start on.

kelly&paul

thank you. good thing I stopped!

BubblyToes

You should have been started at 10mg.  No wonder you haven't been able to function.  Wow.
