Brief Answer:
Is there anything disturbing you in life at this time?
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
This really sounds like depression but then you are already on celexa. However, celexa takes some weeks to be fully functional and as such even the recent increase cannot be immediately evaluated. I will suggest that you observe a few weeks before saying whether it works good or not and only consider adding another medication after this must have been fully evaluated. Hold off ability now and we will revisit that in future. If there are some other things disturbing you in life, kindly share we me so that I can also advise on how to address them.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

HI
How can depression make me feel weak and shaky?
How can depression make me feel weak and shaky?
Brief Answer:
Drink much fluids, please!
Detailed Answer:
Hi, Depression generally makes you feel exhausted and unable to carry out any meaningful task. Shaky is not exactly depression but probably focused o=more on that in my response. If you really don’t drink much, please endeavor to do so as much fluid helps cleanse the body and maintain good circulation to all parts of the body including the brain.
I wish you well and keep me updated.
