yeah my mom was acting really weird the other night…slurred speech, dizziness, acting all slow in her reactions physically and mentally, I think she has been taking celexa should I start worrying?
Take her to the ER post haste
Yes, you should start worrying. What you describe sounds like CNS depression symptoms. They may be related to the medicine, or a cross-reaction, or a stroke, or any number of other serious conditions causing it. Then again, it may be nothing. You have no way of knowing. At the very least, call the doctor who prescribed the new medicine or a Dial-a-Nurse.
But, wait a minute. When you say “the other night”, when was that, and you waited how long to even ask a message board? True, there are medical professionals here, but that is the kind of thing that you:
- shouldn’t wait to ask of:
- a qualified medical expert.
Definatly get her to a doctor, but don’t freak out.
Thats exactly how Celexa made me feel- but I got nifty sweaty palms and tunnel visions as well. No wonder I didn’t stay on that drug long.
