I have been though a rough several weeks actually its been coming on a couple of months. I was taking Celexa for about 14 years. I could only take the name brand because the generic didn't work. Anyway at the first of 2016 my insurance decided it would no longer pay for the name brand.so i decided to go off it . i did a taper but i don't know if it was slow enough . I only had 30 pills to taper on. I seemed ok but as the months went by i became more and more depressed anxious with some mania mixed in. i was using alcohol too much to make the anxiety go away. finally things got so bad i was missing work. i work with the public so i was becoming miserable having to deal with the public feeling like i was coming out of my skin. Then my sleep got terrible . i tried natural supplements bought the book "the mood cure" nothing was helping . I was desperate to get back on my celexa but couldn't pay that much money. so my Dr put me on Lexapro . I had read good things about it. i'm taking the generic which i though would be ok since i never took the name brand. I am taking a very low dose but it make me feel weird . like not myself . a little edgy and foggy. my question is, will that go away . I've been taking it since Thursday june 9 . any feed back would be appreciated. i'm so scared I'll never be right again. :-(
