Hi everyone-
I start the advanced standing MSW program in about 3 weeks. I only worked 10 hours during my BSW program because of the internship and going to school. This summer I will have three 7.5 week classes at once. I work as a massage therapist, so I can’t work during work. Would 16-18 hours a week be too much?
I have been on Celexa since 2019. I first started at only 10 mg for anxiety and panic. I later was upped to 20, and most recently 30. I’m also on a lot of other psych meds and after switching my dose up to 30 I noticed no positive benefits. Switching down from 30 to 20 wasn’t hard at all and honestly I felt a lot better with more energy. I did that for about a week and since I felt fine I went down to 10 2 nights ago. Yesterday my brain felt fuzzy but today I’m getting brain zaps and my head feels extremely fuzzy. I somehow managed to go for a run but that was hard. Overall though I am excited to get off some of these medications because it’s extremely hard for me to focus, I can barely think most of the time and I just feel so flat (I’m also on 20 mg of buspirone, gabapentin as needed along with klonopin, 150 mg of trazadone and 20 mg of latuda). My plan is to first get off Celexa and then try to get off latuda
