Thanks for writing. It feels so great to hear from someone who's using the same medication that I am. I don't know anyone else who takes it at the moment. Most of my friends have switched to Lexapro (which I also tried, but didn't notice any difference). So you say that Celexa is not working well for you right now either? Do you think that you might try a different drug? My main concern (currently) is feeling COMPLETELY out of control of myself, especially when it comes to eating. All I want is sugar and carbohydrates, which I crave constantly. And once I start eating anything sweet, I can't stop. I've never had any weight problems, but I'm concerned that I will develop them if this keeps up! My other compulsive behaviors are constant nose-blowing, lip-chewing, and internet surfing (if you could call that a compulsion!). And cigarette smoking. Basically, I have a highly addictive personality. Before the SSRI's, I had more classic compulsions (hand washing, lock checking, nervous tics and twitches, little rituals I had to follow, that kind of thing). Those have mostly cleared up, but I still feel anxious and...well...depressed I guess. I hate winter, which I know has something to do with it. And I live in a very cold, snowy, gray, gloomy city (ugggghhh!). But anyway, I already feel better just having connected with a community that can identify with this. Thanks again, and take care!
