Last week I quit the anti-anxiety drug I was on. Cold turkey. I wasn’t on a super high dosage so I felt OK making the decision without consulting my doctor. (Again, that was MY choice based on MY situation. This is not me telling anyone else how they should handle their own health issues.)

I have to say, it was the best decision I’ve made lately. Are my nerves back in action? Yes. I have Xanax when I really need it (once since it was prescribed to me two months ago) and I think I’m OK with that. 

The thing is, the Celexa made me feel like shit. The longer I took it, the less anxious it made me feel, but that was about the only good thing that came out of it. Within a day of no longer taking it, I felt like me again. Spazzy and neurotic, yes, but also happy. Peppy. Able to sleep AND feel refreshed when I woke up. My appetite for food and sex is back. I’m into reading and watching trashy reality TV again. 

I’m back, bitches! And if I’ve learned nothing else, it’s that I prefer being a little bit of a head case over being listless and groggy all the time.
