Hey! I take Lexipro and my Dr claims it is the new improved Celexa which I did take, and the things I notice is that there are sexual side effects, I can drink wine without turning into a blubbering mess and it helps with the anxiety. The only complaint with the Celexa was effects of alcohol were very pronounced. I have been thinking of switching because of the sexual side effects .... I am interested in Shiny's analysis too! Shay
Hmmmm Celexa and vino, huh??? Could THAT explain some of my late-night goofiness? I take my Celexa about an hour after dinner.
Thanks for the info on Lexapro, Shay...didn't know it was a new SSRI. For what it's worth, had sexual side effects at first with Celexa too.
Well we're not going to play hackey sac tonight. CJ's on the couch, my sis is just as happy to work in her yard, so I think that's what I'll do too. At least I'll get to enjoy more of this hot sunny weather.
Sorry all you with rain! Just wait until winter...there will be little to envy over here!
Alright!!! Someone ELSE missed something...tag CM you're it!
No, nothing salacious, alas, they were just ganging up and making me sound like a wino because my posts can get...odd? and I missed some banter the other night (only actually, I hadn't...just thought there was something More that I had missed! )
Oh, yeah and I usually post before and after dinner when I have a glass of wine or two...none today.
Actually got a TON of weeding, trimming and such done tonight. I was out there for 3 hours! Heavy sweating, felt great.
CJ's watching an on-line conference. Watched part of a presentation with him. Asked him to call up HIS presentation...but he hasn't yet. This was something he'd worked on earlier in the summer and we both pretty much forgot about it after it was submitted.
He did tinker with it last night (got a phone call from the coordinator)...went on-line today.
CJ also said earlier on my water break, that he'd be out there with me if his ears felt better. I just kind of kept on guzzling my water....
Still, it's hard to be resentful when I had such a blast out there tonight, only the encroaching darkness drove me inside. Mosquitos only got my face...minor, although we did have a bird here die of West Nile virus recently...
I am also taking Lexapro and noticed the sexual side affects, I just can't get there. I did wean myself off as of last week, but anxiety was coming back so am back on since H is still in Limboland. I've only been on it two months so maybe the side affects will go away...did they for you?
No, unfortunately, sexual side effects are still in effect. and thinking of switching back to the celexa, can I just do that? cold turkey? whatdya think shiny? is this ok to do? the lexipro really controls the anxiety- i had a couple of anxiety attacks and couldnt even speak to my mother! before I saw my doctoe- now I feel normal again!

I enjoyed reading the latest antics on your thread. It is fun to find out what someone looks like after painting a picture of them over some time. I've definitely been surprised by a few!
That "retarded orgasm" thing is the same that I experienced on Celexa for, about a month I'd say, although maybe it IS still more difficult, hard to say, not much action over here .
Actually, that's a cop out...I can take care of myself for the basics
As for switching from one SSRI to another...not so sure, ask Ellie (kml...she's a doctor! ). I know that for SOME of them, you have to wean off the one you're on, stay off for a while before starting another.
Not exactly sure with these two.
Another blistering hot day here...over 90 I'm sure. Just heard about the power outage on the east coast so prayers to all of you out that way!!!
Hi all, had to steal this gem from LL's recent post to Jethro.
"one of the things I realized is this...for the betraying partner the "healing" process is easier or faster because they actually on some level have been dealing with it since the begining of deceit..now that it's out and done with they can move on. we on the other hand are new to the info and therefore take longer to process it. imagine if you will a time in the future when you no longer even think about this time...when the a is not something that even passes your thoughts...then all of a sudden w starts to want to talk about it...wants to appologize all the time...or let you know when she get's upset with things that remind her of what she did. how would that make you feel? would you not wish that she would just get over it and put it in the past. I know it's hard to fathom a time when we won't want to hear our spouses say sorry and show empathy and remourse for what they've done...but I'd bet it could and probably would happen that way."

LL I think this should be copied into the "Tips for newcomers to piecing...think I'll do that right now.
Or maybe we should start a new thread...nothing but stolen posts..."Post of the day!"
So how many weeds do you have?????? Talk about me and the house cleaning you are always pulling weeds. Lots of flower beds?
So will the Zoloft have the same effect as the Lexipro and the Celexa?
I think you must like that hot sunny weather better than I do. I love fall and spring the best! I like snow for Christmas and then I am ready for spring, that is enough winter for me.
Have you got to see CJ's presentation yet? I bet he did a good job as he sounds like he is probably very thorough. Actually he sounds a lot like David. Don't know if that is good or not!
