I am very aware of how I'm feeling. I felt it kick in at about three weeks after I started taking it, before that I was up and down. When I stopped, I tapered off, and even after I stopped taking it completely I felt pretty good, but after about three weeks of being off it I started feeling bad. I have analyzed the information and I'm sure it's not placebo. However I think there is too much serotonin in the synapse now, and that whatever feelings that causes are over shadowing other ones. I still can't feel deep emotion, like when I look at the clouds. When I was depressed I felt love. Now I don't feel it as much, but I'm happier, not over all, just the feeling of happiness is stronger. I'd rather feel the love than the happiness. That's why I'm going to see if I can get on WB instead of upping the celexa, get that norepinephrine flowing. I don't really know if it works that way.
