Thank you Davit!!
I think i have used the visualization. think its the same as imagining myself on a deserted island with Tom Jane! lol
thats my happy place.
so i guess i week is long enough i have been off celexa so it should be gone now.
Merry Christmas Davit, got plans i hope?

I don't know how long it takes to clear normally. It took me two days to get rid of the worst of the side effects. In theory, with a 24 hour half life, Half would be gone in 24 hours and then half of that half in another 24 hours etc. Depends on how sensitive you are to it. I can't tell you any thing about paxil except that I can't take it. Celexa gave me restless leg syndrome. So far I'm doing Ok off all the medication, I'm having a fair bit of luck with visualization and distractions to keep the negative thoughts at bay. Visualization is like meditation except instead of thinking about nothing you pick out a happy place or time and concentrate on it expanding it till it crowds out all that unhappy feeling. It can be done almost anywhere except when driving. Good luck with the Paxil.

I quit taking Celexa after 3 1/2 weeks cause of the jerky muscles and allergic symptoms. Doc switched me to paxil 20 ml.
i havent had a celexa for 1 week, i spose its okay to just take the paxil now. third drug i tried in 5 weeks.
i'm doing okay so i think i will give it a few days.
anyone take paxil? i took it yrs ago and liked it okay but i gained 20 lbs.
