• Celexa (generic Lexapro) and Marijuana experience?
|
I am on 20mg/day of Celexa (a generic form of Lexapro, the SSRI antidepressant)and would like to hear from someone who has smoked weed while on a similar medication (same doseage/medicine)
I talked to my doctor already and he said it is not dangerous, i just want to know if anything is different and am a little hesitant to smoke (although I would LOVE to again)
Also, please dont tell me not to smoke or any of that BS, thats not what I asked

• Switching from 10mg to 20mg lexapro?
|
I started on 10 mg lexapro in January for GAD. I was still having symptoms so my doctor put me up to 20 mg a day. I just started taking it last night and I have had nausea and vomiting and diarrehea all day. Is this related to the change in doseage? I have called my doctor and I'm waiting on a call back. Just wanted to see what other people on the medication have to say about it.

• Floaters in vision when Lexapro dosage is too high?
|
I've been on Lexapro for about a month for anxiety. The dr. put me on 5 mg but told me to ease myself onto it to make sure the doseage wasn't too high for me. I took 1/2 a pill for about 3 weeks and then started taking a full 5mg about a week ago. The medication works great for my anxiety but I noticed about 4 days ago that I've started to get floaters (little black specs that look kinda like gnats) in my peripheral vision and I also see flashes of light sometimes. I called the dr. and spoke to his nurse yesterday and she told me to take the dosage down and see if it helps. I took only 1/2 a pill today and the floaters seem somewhat better but they're still there. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it possible that I'm just adjusting to being back on the lower dose and that eventually the floaters will stop? The nurse told me that if they continue I will have to go off the medication which I don't necessarily want to do, any experience people have had would be helpful. Thanks!

• What is wrong with my head?
|
I am not sure if im bipolar or what but ive been reading about it kind of obsessively for a while because i cant seem to find out for sure what is wrong. Heres my symptoms:
Feeling deppressed/ suicidal at worst points
Feeling really anti social and getting anxiety really bad
Having wierd triggers to bad feelings for example being in a dark lit florescent room like a resuraunt at night, causes tenseness to the point of twitching and almost not beaing able to talk.
having really big varying outlooks on life like one day I will be praying and trusting god will help me and then the next i just cant decide if i hate him or if I even think he exists.
I get hallucinations, not like seeing figures or hearing voices but like little distortions of reality like seeing things move around hearing a ringing noise in one of my eyes, seeing colors change and ect.
I also get a wierd ocurrance where it seems like my frames of vision are not getting all the way erased from my head and leaving a mixed up picture in front of my eyes.
I also suffer from depersonalization and when its really bad derealization and also an all around really spaced out feeling wich has been affecting me my entire life and has been brought up by teachers from the kindergarten age although the other symptoms are more recent gradually building over the last about 2 years. (Im a 16 year old guy in high school if it matters) This is really affecting my life bad, I am messing up relationships, my grades are horrible because I cant concentrate and cant use organized thinking for some reason and feel like sleeping almost all day with short periods of energy. The crazier symptoms normally occur when Im alone though. I have been to a doctor and he said I have deppression and anxiety, put me on lexapro, I took it for a month at the lowest doseage and it made me feel like shit. I have have many stressors in my like being constantly bullied and laughed at because of how I looked back in middle school and have smoked weed alot and tried salvia once which was a bad idea but i wont go into that. Just so you guys know I quit all drugs, so I dont get a bunch of anti drug rants lol Sorry about the random ramble about my mental state but I just want to know what is wrong with me! Any comments are appreciated. Thanks.
