pigdriver Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Psyc's have me on Prozac 40 MG, Lorazepam 1 MG X 3, Gabapentin 600 MG and Prazosin. Take the Prozac and 1 MG of Lorazepam in the AM, another Lorazepam during the day if needed and another Lorazepam with the Gabapentin and Prazosin before bed. Hoped going through the CBT program would help so I could get off these drugs, no luck, going through the 2nd time, if this 2nd round doesn't help I guess like some I'm doomed to being in a "fog" for the rest of my life. I guess its better then "going postal" all the time and all the other nice things that come with a good dose of PTSD. Just hope the VARO in Detroit comes through in a postive way. Best to all.

I take 5mg abilify,10mg amlodipine, and 10mg enalopril in the am, celexa 40mg was up to 60, and trazodone at night. Doc wants to add lorazepam and clonidine with prazosin, I alredy feel like I'm in a fog already and can't concentrate. This tweaking my meds sucks.

sandboxsquid Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Citalopram put me in nether nether land, and it also had some negative sexual urge side effects. Heard from someone it can be used to treat premature ejaculation. Went off too fast, and had some bad reactions. Extremely nauseous to the point of vomiting, headaches, electric like flashes in the brain. They have seemed to finally disappear after being off of med for a month.

out_here04 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 i apparently take 40 mg citalopram (and yes i found out it's celexa) and i kind of like it. i head for the coffee every morning, but my sleep apnea machine has me pretty rested overnight, so after a few cups i'm moving around. since i'm basically homebound (statuatorily 100percent anxiety/depression and 60 percent beyond that...and by choice) i don't really know how i'd be affected in the "real world".
