Common Questions and Answers about Celexa and ambien

celexa

1166402 tn?1303847056 I just started 20 mg of generic Celexa (3 days ago) and the doc also gave me Ambien and Klonopin (take .25mg) to relieve the anxiety until the Celexa kicks in. I wake up shaky/hot and kind of panicky. Which drug is this from drugs, or is it still the anxiety. I know this takes time, but I don't want to mess with any drugs that might be making the symptoms worse (i.e Klonopin or Ambien). I also don't want to become dependent on the Klonopin and ambien either.
Avatar f tn I started hallucinating, most likely from the Ambien. Next night, I took only the celexa and it kept me up all night and made my anxiety way, way worse. Never tried it again. Felt like I was hopped up on caffeine. Very jittery and shaky. Give it a try and see how you react to it. Everyone is different.
Avatar m tn When they were changing me to Celexa they had me taking low doses of the former Prozac and Celexa weaning me off one and getting my body used to the other. It was a month-long process. Celexa has been a dream for me. I would speak to your doctor. Good luck!
Avatar n tn I take Levitra and am on Celexa and Ambien. My Psych NP said there were no interactions. I haven't been able to notice any odd side effects. But you should ask a pharmacist.
Avatar n tn I have had mild anxiety for about 4 years now but got worse when my grandmother died in 2007 and when my brother got locked up in 2008. The pat month or so I have been having panic attacks to the point of me hyperventilating. I have also been depressed which makes matters worse. I don't sleep at night until about 4 or 5 and wake up every 2 hours. I went to the doctor the other day and was prescribed ambien and celexa.
Avatar f tn Drop the buspar, it doesn't do anything. Why trazodone and ambien? And Celexa usually causes weight gain.
Avatar f tn m taking the Ambien CR and THANK GOD FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!! I tried regular Ambien and had 2 nights in one week that I only got 2 hours of sleep... which didn't help with the depression or Riba Rage. I still wake up often, but am able to go back to sleep now. I have no problem with feeling bad the next day. I'm on Effexor for the depression. My feelings about the sx: Right now the most important thing is to kill this dragon... whatever it takes.
3167984 tn?1343971042 ive been taking celexa ambien and welbrutrin oh and naproxin plus prenatel pills after delevery. is this safe.
Avatar f tn I stopped using Celexa about 5 days ago, just stopped. I don't notice anything. Can there be any problems I should look for? I feel it just took "the edge" off and not sure I should stay on it.
Avatar f tn Next thing I know I was so depressed , Dr. upped Celexa to 20 mg.I started having panic and anxiety, could the celexa cause this? This is my 13th day on 20mg.
731247 tn?1233787586 I was on all that stuff, the xanax and the celexa and the BOC trial and the only thing I noticed between everything was this. The celexa gave me a very dry and funky tasting mouth in the morning, but it wasn't unbearable. You're already feeling the brunt of the mix, so you're really just adding the Celexa. I had hardly any difference, just what I said a little bit of the funk mouth.
Avatar f tn After my twins were born almost four yeas ago, I suffered from ppd and started taking 10mg Prozac, which helped immediately, so I never increased the dosage to 20mg. Last October I found out my husband was having an affair for three years. I was beyond devastated. Now, 6 months later, I have been through hell, I've seen 3 therapists and a psychiatrist and my GP. I switched to Celexa in nov or dec, 20mg. End of January of this year, dose was doubled to 40mg.
Avatar f tn I have a few post on here, I was on Celexa for 8 years Ambilfy 8 years before that Welbutron, Zoloft and more. While on Celexa they added Ambien Klonopin I know Celexa is a SSRI drug, I read that without someone telling me You do not mix medications in the SSRI or other extra. I also read on the pdf from Celxa that it stated. That let it be noted Clexa was not to be treated for bipolar depression yet I get it could be and the recomendation dosage for Celexa is 20mg I was on 40 not all the time.
619930 tn?1260374254 I finished 48 weeks of SOC 2 weeks ago. I have been on Celexa and Ambien CR for the better part of tx and have been thinking about when to stop, but have had a hard time sleeping through the night for about 4 or 5 days. Has anyone had any sleep problems after EOT? I realize my body is going through a turn-around to try and get back to normal, whatever that is...I forget =) Any thoughts?
Avatar f tn I have been to Dr. A for years and have taken SSRI's on and off. The best was Celexa and did great on it for a year. It just made me have trouble waking up and made me late to work every morning. Then I moved and went to a new psychiatrist, Dr. H, who knows me less but was more thorough like taking blood and mouth swab test, etc. He seems to think I have a mood disorder (bipolar spectrum) on the the depressive side and thinks Mood Stabilizers like Lamictal would be better for me.
741315 tn?1232458427 I have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and ptsd. my inital diagnoses was did (disociative personality disorder). I am not sure what is exactly wrong with me and i am convinced that my doctors are not completely sure either. i currently take: * lamictal *citalopram *xanex *risperdone *ambien... its still hard to focus but its a different impedement on the meds its not the same kind of distraction or process. i want to stop taking them but i know how bad things are when i am not on them.
Avatar f tn of mirtazapine (Remeron) with 50 mg. Lamactil. I also take xanax in a low dose (currently weaning off), and use Ambien 10 mg. for sleep. (which I am also going to wean off of.) Overall, they are effective, but mirtazapine has appetite issues (you always want to snack so you have to really watch weight - already gained about 15 lbs. in 1 yr.). Good luck working with your Dr. on this...
Avatar m tn During all this I started a new job and I would lay in bed at night and have bad anxiety and panic attacks and I could not sleep . I stated taking .5 alprazolam and it helped for a little while then nothing. My dr. Started me on ambien and lunesta with little relief from either drug. The I started 100mg of trazadone with my .5 alprazolam. I started with a quarter of the trazadone .25 and quickly went all the way up to 200. And still it was a coin toss if I was going to sleep or not.
Avatar f tn I am just starting day 4 off of norco 5/325. I took usually 4-5 a day. Originally for back pain and then for help dealing with my marriage woes. It's been about 5 months. There was a few weeks months ago where I took Percocet, because I literally could not walk. Of course my back is fine, but my emotional pain continued. Anyway, I was advised by GP that I was over using them and he would not prescribe anymore, which is true, I was overusing.
Avatar f tn Fentanyl is an extreme opiate if I remember correctly and you quitting that CT will for sure give you some anxiety and depression even when taking the perks (IMO). I to suffer with anxiety and depression and have been on and off celexa for years while abusing perks 10mg as well. What I have done recently is quit the perks via suboxone, currently at 1mg dose from 6mg, started that about 2 weeks ago. Before that, about a week before, I started back on my celexa.
726698 tn?1249781717 I was on 100 trazadone, along with 60 celexa, but I was too spacy. My pdoc cut me down to 50 traz and 20 celexa and added 100 buproprion. Now I'm having trouble going to sleep and staying asleep. I have an appt with my pdoc this week and maybe up my traz more. I have taken doxapine for sleep too, but it was with zolof. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn How or when should I taper the Xanax ? I have anxiety and have all my life and i'm 29. I'm scared to come off the Xanax since I'm still fresh of being clean from opiate addiction of ten plus yrs!!!
277836 tn?1359666174 I sent my wife a long email to her at work and explained how sorry I was and How I know her and the kids needed me but this dark time I am in is to strong and it has pulled me in etc... I am sure lots of you here understand...Anyway I was in a daze from the pills I remember waking up at the hospital thin king I was in another life it was weird..My kids saved me from going all the way I just kept looking at pictures and thats why I decided not to take 30 plus pills at once...
1386457 tn?1279652083 ve been on klonopin for a year now and to be frank I am just tired of taking medication. I am currently taking celexa, klonopin, ambien, and flexeril. I dont know if I am ready I will just have to see and find out. I am taking .5 a night instead of the 1 mg I was taking everyday. It is day three and I just feel a bit larthgic and had a nightmare last night that was quite vivid. Anyone who has been or is in the similiar situation as me please describe when I should expect symptoms.
Avatar m tn Is it OK to just switch from ambien to temazepam like that, abruptly quitting the ambien? Should I alternate back and forth for a while? And lastly, should I sleep better or at least as good with the temazepam and maybe 15mg just isn't enough? Last night was not good - I'm not sure if I should take more temazepam or just stick with the ambien.
