Celexa and leg pain

Common Questions and Answers about Celexa and leg pain

celexa

Really lost and sick of it. Have a pain were my scrotom and leg meet but it could be from straining to go to the bathroom. My stomach was kind of tender on the right side when she pressed on it but no rebound pain.

Most of the other medication (effexor, Prozac, Zoloft) produce side effects which I did not care for. My doctor and I finally gave Celexa a try. I was taking low dosages (10mg daily) of Celexa and I was doing fine. A few months back my doctor suggested I try Lexapro. I have found that most of the bad side effects of Celexa have been eliminated with this new and so far wonderful medication, I am currently taking 10mg Lexapro daily.

Hello & thank you for your time: I have been off of Celexa since 1/6,I slowly lowered the dose over several weeks to 10mg. I stopped due to restless legs symptoms.On 1/7 my Psyc. started me on Remeron wich I had a very bad reaction to(disoriented,slurring speach,uncontrolled limb movement, a very scary experience.Since the eve.

Celexa gave me severe stomache pains as well. I didn't like it at all...you can read my response about celexa in the topic above this one on celexa withdrawal. It's really hard when your system gets screwed up and the doctor starts switching meds, your body has no idea what's happening and, well, I've just had bad experienced trying to get the right combination of meds for my problems (severe depression, interstitial cystitis, arthritis, angina/tachycardia).

I think I have an illness phobia, because I'm constantly worried that every little ache and pain could be cancer. I went through a few weeks where I was very anxious all the time and, after several tests (all negative and normal), my GP put me on Buspar. I've been taking it for about 10 days at about 20-25 mg per day.

I started taking Celexa (20mg) in October of 2000 for situational depression. I tried to stop taking it before but could not because of the withdrawal symptons. In December 2001 I started slowly going off of it. I am down to taking 10mg every 5 days. Once the 5th day comes I experience dizziness, I'm tired, vision is a little blurred and it feels wierd when I blink (like a head rush).

Lexapro is supposed to be a refined version of Celexa, unfortunately you will find that it will have all the same side-effects as celexa or any of the other SSRI's. What you need to do is to have a simple enzyme test for the enzyme P450. If you have low or no P450 enzymes then you body with no metablize the medication and will have a toxic buildup which will lead to experiencing severe side-effects. I would suggest looking at the physical cause of your anxiety.

out and terrified for no reason and all the other symptoms like dizziness headaches , body pain, hot flashes, jelly legs and i know what you mean know one will give you advice for free they all want money i dont get it if you have suffered with it why charge others but anyway yes taking any medication has side effects this is why- your are already anxious which means your brain is always "alert" always in the "fight or flight " mode so when you add a chemical into your body

I was reciently switched from 5mg Lexapro to Celexa because I couldn't tolerate the side effects of the lexapro at 5 or 10mg. I was (and am) having horrible leg cramps(STILL), tingling in bottom of feet, and back pain. During the switch I had 2 days where it all went away. Then on my 4th day of celexa 5mg it has started again! My doctor has me seeing a rheumatologist in a couple of weeks, but I didn't have this until I started the Lexapro and now with the Celexa.

but i won't lie to you, your body will ache for some time to come. Even if you didn't have pain prior to using pain pills, you will experience pain afterwards until your body adjusts, but it's bearable if you want it bad enough. They decreased his dose each day and in 5-days he was finished! I'm sad to say he's relasped, and is having a very difficult time mentally.

For the past year I have lower left sided back pain that goes into my left hip then travels down leg and stops half way down between thigh and knee. The hip pain is the worst and can be unbearable. MRI scan only indicated narrowing in L8 & L9 which would not cause this pain. The pain restricts my walking and sleeping. Please advise. Thank you. Q2. For approx 10yrs I have had sharp pain under ribs on right side.

At my second appointment, the doctor prescribed prilosec for my chest pain and celexa for anxiety which I just started last night. My question is, will the celexa actually cure the symptoms or just help me to not worry about it so much? Could this just be stress or should I press for any type of testing? What if it is something serious and we're ignoring the cause and just treating the symptoms? Thank you for your time.

43 yr female, have leg numbness, w/ feeling. Started 2wks ago, I had gone to gym did upper body workout no obvious injury. Later in day after evening walk noticed numb feeling no pain this is in both legs, for some reason my heels have odd sensation too. I have anxiety, and have had panic attacks. Went to ER, Dr parethesia and to follow up with my doctor (appt. Tue.) Scared of als, ER Dr had me walk on toes & heels, said if I could do that I couldn't'have it.

I had no anxiety before taking the Celexa the first time. In fact all of my conditions were minor before the Celexa. I think the fact he even thought this would be a good idea tells me he's not aware of what I'm even saying. His specialty is IBS, he seemed to have that as the diagnosis before I opened my mouth....keep in mind he ran not a single test. Is this something that will just take time to heal? I'm looking for a second opinion at the moment.

that only lasted about a week then the dizziness came back(not as strong) and i also felt random pains all over my body (hands, arms, legs, feet) so I thought i had leukimia, lupus, fybromalgia, lyme disease. Also I started noticing petachie (red small dots around my body) and that my skin was really dry and sensitive. AND THEN (around december 15) I MADE A HUGE MISTAKE : I started reading about als...and suddenly i felt like my speech was slured and messed up....

Last night my youngest child woke up crying and I was unable to balance myself when I got out of bed. There was no tingling in my leg, like when your leg goes to sleep, it was just dead, heavy. I just leaned back towards the bed and layed there. I thought what the heck is wrong with me. I have had three doctors over the past 7 years because of insurance or doctors leaving practice. I've always been healthy till just the past 10 years I have been noticing out of the normal things.

I was prescribed this for depression due to losing two of my children, both of my parents and going thorugh a divorce. I am experiencing extreme leg pain and wondering the leg pain can be caused from the lexapro? I have created a life for myself and feel good about myself. I would like to get off the lexapro, but don't know how. Are the leg pains caused from the lexapro and should I try to get off lexapro?

Sorry it was so dramatic but am at the end of rope. As my nickname indicates I have severe testicular pain along with leg pain both sides, fatigue. At beginning I had all the symptoms of a STD and unfortunatley there is two sources. We are talking twelve years ago. Both woman were checked (my ex wife, her friend which was a friend of the family). I made one mistake in a 15 year marriage but from what I found out ex had made several.

next thing you know , he raised my celexa and zanaflex. He was walking away and told me he wants to do an EMG test on my legs. He did not even do any of the neuro testing at all. My question is.... is this another type of test in the process of diagnosisng ms or is it only to check for nerve damage or something like that?

The pain is in her lower abdomen, just above the pubic bone. The pain also radiates to her back, upper groin, and down her legs. The doctor we saw was concerned, as this pain was different than any other abdominal pain she had experienced. She has IBS, but her problem presented with NO digestive symptoms of any kind.

If I need to have a BM it makes my legs hurt terrible then after I us the restroom it is instant pain relief. When I sleep at night my legs hurt so bad it wakes me up. I can get out of bed and walk around for a few minutes the pain goes away then I go back to sleep again. When I was a child in grade school my legs hurt me setting at my class room desk I would bounce my legs up/down all day on my toes to keep my legs from hurting.

Up until May 27th I was doing really good, with the exception of a few episodes of extreme leg pain in the nerves of my left leg. When I saw my pain care dr. in April, I had one time of the pain and he told me to have my stimulator reprogrammed to capture the pain in my left leg. This was done. Then on May 29, I got up with extreme pain in my left leg that didn't go away. It has progressively gotten worse to now it is in my right leg also. It feels like labor pains.

I'm going thru physical withdrawal from a year and a half of narcotic use related to bone pain from treatment with arimidex for breast cancer. It started out a relatively straightforward, bone pain in the leg, worse at night because it was complicated by restless leg syndrome(which I had since my 30's). Before it was over I was on 20mg of vicodin/650mg tylenol every 6 hours.

I was put on celexa, but the pain still persisted and it got so bad I couldn't sleep on my left side at all. Had the MRI on my back down, it showed bulging discs and I was assured it was nothing to be worried about. Slowly over the course of a few weeks, things got a little better, but then, again, the pain came back. This time, I had severe pain under my left shoulder and a throbbing in the middle left side of my back, which comes and goes now.

in my case, it has been my just my legs i used to pick ant even the slightest little scab that appeared on my legs. over time, my legs became covered and eventually i would rip off half the skin on my lower leg every time i picked off the scabs. this was when i was about 12. i am now 17 and only have scabs on my legs when i fall or skin myself. i dont pick at them so much, but the urge is always there. it was like a drug to me and i couldnt stop for the life of me.

2010 severe abdominal pain effecting all quadrants began. 2011 I began having muscle spasms, and jerking in the limbs and jaw. According to the doctors, I have Knee Clonus, hyperflexia, and Hoffman's sign. Findings: All symptoms will last for months at a time, and then ease up and then continue. I have seen several physicians including a Neurologist, Ob/GYN, GI, and a Rheumatologist. This is what they have found.
