I drink plenty of water, eat healthy, exercise, vitamins etc etc... Obviously I drink much less and consider myself prudent compared to my male and female collegiate counterparts. I guess my concern is if there is some kinda accumulated brain damage I should be aware of? or if my anxiety medication Celexa may have something to do with this?? I have even gotten an MRI that my neurologist said "looked good on paper".
I gained about 30 lbs on Citalopram. I work out and eat healthy. I just saw a new doctor and he believes the Citalopram is causing my weight gain. I have been on it for about 18 months. I am now taking half a pill of Citalopram in order to wean myself off of it. My doctor then prescribed me Bupropion HCL (take twice a day). He says that should help with weight loss. Has anyone had good experiences with Bupropion? Did you gain weight on Citalopram? Thanks!!!
Combining Alprax and Citalopram can cause central nervous system and respiratory depressant effects, especially in elderly or debilitated patients. Please discuss with your doctor for alternate medications. In the meantime, I would strongly caution you not to drive or operate heavy machinery while on these medications as you might injure yourself or others.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

Hi
Sorry to burst your bubble but you will suffer withdrawals mine took a few weeks to kick
in I came off effexor.
But I know my group that Citalopram is not easy to come off you would be better going back on it and weaning off slowly follow cita's withdrawal programme my support group they are on the web.
1 mixture of (S)-Citalopram and (R)-Citalopram]; Escitalopram [(S)-Citalopram) is a pure enantiomer. The dosages for Escitalopram are typically 1/2 of those for Citalopram, and there are fewer side effects, suggesting that most side effects come from the (R)-enantiomer.''
Basically escitalopram is the new citalopram with less side-effects and requires only half the dosage and I think it is the reason for it's cheaper price.
-http://en.wikipedia.
In appropriate neurochemical, functional, and behavioural non-clinical experiments, escitalopram shows greater efficacy and faster onset of action than comparable doses of citalopram. The lower efficacy of citalopram in these studies is apparently due to the inhibition of the effect of the S-enantiomer by the R-enantiomer, possibly via an allosteric interaction with the serotonin transporter.

If you continue to drink the hard stuff vodka and whiskey, you will ruin your kidneys and can end up in the hospital with dialysis!! They tell me it is a slow and painful process. If you can't pee, it sits inside you and stagnates and you can get a very bad infection from it.
On the other hand, some beer is good for the kidneys.
You must, however, drink water!!!
The main problem I have is that when I drink (maybe once a month), I get drunk very quickly and make wrong choices about drugs like cocaine, which are really having negative effects on my life. When I am sober, I never think of doing drugs. I find it very hard to drink in moderation.
Is this what is referred to as alcoholism? Is alcohol my problem? I thought that if I stopped alcohol, then I would never do drugs. But no matter what, every few months, I fail and am back to square one.
Does alcohol detoxification treatment really treats the physical effects of prolonged use of alcohol. Can an alcoholic be treated without getting himself admitted in India and for how long generally the treatment continues.My husband is a heavy drinker and its almost 17 years since he has been drinking regularly and the result is he is unable to avoid a single day as his legs start paining. His has a busy schedule . Kindly advise . My email id is ***@****.
how do I help my husband who is an alcoholic and now starting to drink liquor when he is out of beer.This is now causing problems for us because he is becoming a sloppy drunk and its all too much for me.
hi. get her to a detox or even an er. i've experienced about everything withdrawal has to offer, and aside from the medical risk, if it gets too unpleasant she might drink more for relief like i did a few times trying to do it myself. she needs to be somewhere that can provide medication and monitor things like vital signs. there is nothing non-prescription that will help the acute symptoms. please treat this as the potentially life-threatening condition that it is.
my friend is an alcohlic and she's having many health issues such as peeling of the hands and feet, hair loss, no apetite, weight loss, anxiety, depression, dimentia, etc... Are these signs of her body shutting down? She's been to several rehabs and has been in the hospital for alcohol poisioning.
On a bad day it may be 12-20 beers and throw in 2-4 shots and I am a little more confrontational and still work the next morning, but probably not as well as I could. On these days, I have been accused of hurting others by my drinking. Never phyiscaly of course, but by them seeing me in such a state of mind. I treat others very good, but I obviously hurt them by hurting myself and accusing them of not loving me.
