Hi all,

I'm taking a very low dosage of Celexa, 40 milligrams. Right before I got my band, I stopped taking it, with my doctor's (not therapist) consent. Well, I tried crushing the pills, but they tasted terrible. Now, I'm a little over a month post op, and :duh!: it hit me this week, that maybe, just maybe, the reason I'm crying, feeling irritable, (hell, angry, too!) is because I should be back on the Celexa.

My therapist said that I probably would need to take it for the rest of my life. I was fine until this week, probably because I was in the honeymoon phase. I'd hoped that I wouldn't have to take it anymore, but apparently, that's not the case.

My question: If anyone is taking it, is it hard to swallow?

Any and all experiences appreciated. (And please don't scold, I know what I did wasn't smart!).

Thank you.

I know there was more I wanted to ask. Maybe it will come back to me.

Debbie .

Depression can feel like a curse sometimes. I'm having my meds tweaked after they started making me sick to my stomach after passing through the pouch. I am tight to a point where anything in a gel cap or bigger than an m & m gets struck. Finding something that works for me and wont make me puke is becoming a challenge. What totally sucks is that my meds were adjusted PERFECT; but then they all of a sudden started making me sick. Go figure. I'm now on Lexapro (same family as Celexa), small dose of Elavil (what was making sick at a higher dose) and Trazidone at night. I feel better than without anything, but am still not 100%. Sigh....
