This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

Hello All,
I'm not new here but for the life of me I cannot recall my old user name or anything ( must be an MS thing ). I tried everything to retrive it but nothing so I can't even refer to my old posts.

My question is about Celexia. I take 20 mgs a day. Somehow I completely forgot to take it for days even after it was pounded into my head not to miss a dose or especially several doses. It didn't hit me until tonight why I was so sick. I have been having horrific headaches that burn and sting, horrible nightmares and unable to sleep at night. It dawned on me tonight when I was thinking what the heck could be causing it. I even called my doctors today thinking maybe I was just having more migraines. I never used so much headache medicine in my life. I used lots of maxalt and my rescue meds for migraines which is Fiorcet. I had the Rx for that stuff and never even used it except in the last few days.

It hit me tonight that I totally lost track of my meds and didn't take it for several days and I'm thinking well over a week or so.

Has anyone had this happen or has anyone been through this with Celexia. I started it back tonight. I never got ahold of my docs due to a winter storm and holiday but I'm thinking now that has to be the reason why I was so sick. I also had nausea and more.

Any info or experinece with this drug is appreciated.

I have had MS for 3 years come this Jan. I'm on Tysabri IV. I have RRMS but have had a bad 6 months and my new MRI was not good considering...

Thanks to everyone
Merry Christmas and Happy Coming new year.

I forgot. Will starting it back up relieve these symptoms or am I doomed to go through this awhile longer?

I have been on/off Celexa for over a year. Most of the time when I take it, I do it the right way. However, there are times I forget to refill a bottle and miss 2-3 weeks and have even went off of it for two months. It has no side effect for me to take it or miss it. I can say that it is a WONDER drug for me, it has givin me my life back.

The problem comes with the decision of weighing the unknown with the unknown.

Thank you. It has helped me soooo much as well. I'm back on track with it now but I had an appt with my PCP today and my blood pressure was through the roof and that is new lately so she placed me on a low dose of meds for that. Could be the culprit for this ongoing headache for sure.
I was also very anemic according to my bloodwork.
All reasons for the headache being so annoying and ongoing.

How much Celexa do you take if you dont mind me asking
