Hi all,
I could really use some reassurance and support. I started celexa 5 weeks ago and was upped to 30mg 8 days ago. I am really starting to believe the celexa is working, which is wonderful. I woke up this morning to some large purple bruises all around one of my knees. I also have a few small green ones. All of the bruises are on the front of my legs. I'm trying to believe it is just coincidence that I have these bruises and don't remember knocking them, and am hoping it has nothing to do with celexa or the increase last week. They are located only on the front of my legs, not the back or anywhere else on my body, so I am rationalizing and combatting the anxiety (see celexa is helping!) with positive thoughts that it is likely I bumped them and just don't recall. I only question it because I don't remember bruising like this before. Although I have also lost 25 plus pounds in 6 weeks due to anxiety so perhaps that has something to do with the bruising?
My leaflet from the pharmacist does not list bruising as a side effect, but a foolish google search told me otherwise. Anyone have any experience with this? Think its just coincidence?
Thanks so much!
