Thanks - could be that 20mg is the best level for me. I went on and popped that whole pill yesterday (40mg) and tolerated it well but for some odd lethargy and feeling "doped."

Dunno honestly, whether I'll continue to experiment with the actual "ED50" of this stuff.

The rule of thumb is: If it works, then leave well enough alone. You know. "If ain't broke, then..."

So might could be I'll go on with 20mg and seek to improve the other deficits in my life the old fashioned way: Making more healthy choices and exercise, exercise, exercise. I'm a big proponent of that, ya know. It really only requires 30 minutes of fast, aerobic walking every day above and beyond your normal exertion--to reap those benefits. Really. It's so simple. (And easy and fun once you get into it.)

Also, to get a damn grip on this wacky sleep-pattern - which segues straight into my continuing BZD habit, of which I am making good, slow but steady progrees toward the end goal of getting OFF.

I think the Celexa is a blessing. But when one embarks upon a medication regimen that works, all the other areas of that individual's life have to be looked at carefully as well if he/she is to affect actual outside change (i.e., good sleeping patterns and keeping busy with regular, consistent exercise).

So it is a blessing, true. Magic pill? Uhh, no. There is no panacea to be found in a pill. What the proper medication does is allow you to move forward, and that part is always up to YOU.
