Went to the Dr

I went to the Dr yesterday and he put me on a 1/2 tablet of Citalopram. It is the generic form of Celexa.



I went by to see the grandgirls after the appointment and asked them if they would like to spend next week-end with Mommy. They said no until I told them that Daddy wouldn't be able to come. THEN Cheyann said no and Becky says "I'm goin to Grammy's" I told her I thought she would come an live with Grammy if she could and she said 'YEP' Gotta love my little Twerpseed. I have a feeling that this summer I will be haveing Becky quite a bit.



Dr. made me promise I wouldn't hurt myself, I told him I couldn't I would be breaking two little grandgirls hearts, well, a few others too. Besides, I wouldn't give some the satisfaction, cause sometimes I think that is what they are trying for. Hey, could that be working already? LOL



Maybe NOW, I will feel more like quilting. I have one block that I have been fighting with for 2 weeks. I love the block, it isn't hard, it is just the operator. I have to finish it right or wrong because it uses fabric from a swap that has to be returned in a block.

Celexa is a good med. I've taken it in the past, and have recently re-started. (I get these periods after it is in my system where I figure I can do without meds. I do without for awhile, until the descent is so obvious even *I* can notice it.)

Celexa is in a class of meds called Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors. Serotonin is a chemical that helps your mood, and it is naturally occurring in your brain. There are cells that absorb the serotonin, and SSRI's slow down the absorption, leaving more serotonin floating around.

I have to tell you that the medicine takes WEEKS before it is effective, so, if you are noticing a change in mood right away, it is most likely RELIEF at knowing you are doing something that will help.

GOOD FOR YOU for visiting your doctor and getting some help. Too often folks leave it too long (like that mammogram, pap smear, or colonoscopy we should all have regularly and all too often neglect to schedule).

I hope the medication works for you. If you want any personal experience observations, please feel free to contact me personally at lisaanne_quilts @ hotmail dot com
