Hi There Happycat & Littlebear,

I'm sorry but I don't really know the medical answer to your question but, my

Doctor has me on an Anti-Yeast regimen which includes an Anti-Depressant,

Nilstat & Sponderex to kill the yeast, plus Psyllium. He is a Candidiasis

Specialist and therefore I presume he is quite happy with that combination of

meds.

Is the " Celexa " you are on actually an Antidepressant ? - I'm supposing that it

is. Anyway, your Doctor is the best one to go to for reassurance.

All the best.

God Bless,

depression & yeast meds

Hi all,

I have been taking " celexa " as a med for depression and anxiety. It

has been tremendous for me and I am a new person. I have a great

doctor! I know that yeast and depression have a link and I'm not

asking about that right now. I want to continue taking the celexa

for now (I'm getting that opinion out of the way before my

question).

My question is this...

does a bentonite, psyllium, caproil regimine interfere at all with a

medication like celexa? Before I start this I'll ask my doctor but

I'm wondering if any of you know about this. I've seen a kit

called " yeast busters " in a local store (canada) and I'm wondering if

I should try it.

Thanks for your help!

-Heath

it's not one size fits all... celexa made me suicidal..... haven't found one

I can handle yet... so I suffer in silence. No one wants to know that you're in

pain, of any kind.

I agree, it's not one size fits all. I got lucky and I know it.

Hello Charisse:

I have not taken celexa but Lex is Very similar (1/2 of the celexa

molecule leaving the inert substances behind.) I took Lexapro for

about 8 months.

From my own experiences and alot of folks here, some side effects

are " normal " when beginning the med. The sides you are describing

are common side effects of SSRI's for some people. They should

subside within a few weeks but we all react differently. Increased

levels of Seratonin (which is the effect of the SSRI's) can cause

the symptoms you describe until your body gets 'aquainted " with the

changes.

Speak with your Doc and give it some time, uncomfortable as you may

be. Usually these sides go away as you progress. Sounds as though

you are quite sensitive to these meds but your Doc is the best

judge. Mg for Mg, lex is stronger than Celexa (more concentrated) so

maybe this is why your doc choose celexa instead of lex....ask him!

That is a catch 22 situation.....If you do not relate to your

psychiatrist, then might I suggest you try another one.

I had been seeing my own for about 5 years monthly and he was also

set against my stopping SSRI treatments. I spoke with my regular

doctor and she had a very different opinion. I spend the $$ so I get

to make the choice in Docs....as do you!

Jeff
