I find odd how when your having these strange physical feelings and the doctors automatically assume oh is anxietys let's up your dosage instead of saying is side effects ride it out..oh here's a benzo until you feel better..just baffles me..

What my doctors saw was past PTSD on my records am sure that's what the problem is because they kept bringing up anxiety all the time. My symptoms when they upped it, I can remember feeling out of it, daily headaches,photophobia, couldn't string a sentence together, memory issues and other stuff then some time later not sure how long from when they were upped, I was sitting on a train and out of the blue, the only way I can explain it is my head exploded it all happened so quickly, I went cold and that's when the parathesia started all over my body to start. I always carried pain killers and muscle relaxants and water, so immediately took pain killers and water, got off at the next stop to sit down outside, started to feel better after about half an hour, and managed to get home. Got home at 6pm went to bed and slept for about 14 hours. Woke up, head felt weird, and I was tingling so bad down my right side that I was dragging it. So had to be checked for stroke. I was talking about this very thing with my neuro the other day to say how do you know I didn't have a tia, because I haven't had that experience since, not like that anyway and she said you don't get headaches with Tia's.

I couldn't walk in a straight line either, I was all over the place.

Wouldn't it have been better a hormonal therapy...that's what I did for my hot flashes. I received one shot and that took care of that..and I'm sure the celexa has been helping me with the hot flashes Because it's been two years since I got a hot flash..these doctor's are too much...

They wouldn't give me HRT because of my Migraine diagnosis (side effects) back in February 2015,

Hi Jess I went from 30 mg to 40 mg and got these side effects. I know it’s very difficult to clear your mind of all the horrible thoughts and you feel overloaded. I found having a soak in a dark bathroom with candles and listening to smooth radio programme it really helped. It will get better I promise, I thought it never would but it does 😘
