"i just started taking celexa 1 week ago. i&#039;ve been a depressed, sad, sorry person for over 15 years. for some unexplained reason, i was always so low. i began hitting myself around the age of 7 and would give myself nose bleeds. i&#039;m now 28 and my self inflictions are numerous places on my body and my flesh will hang off my muscle. in the 4 times i have been taken to the e.r. not one doctor or hospital therapist has said or done anything to help me understand why. finally, 1 week ago in the e.r., the physician put me on 20 mg celexa. i felt really weird the first day. i have loss of appetite, minor headache. no anxiety. still feel low but i&#039;m set an appointment for therapy. wonderful feeling! the world is different and not so ugly. i am tired though."
