Now to the OP....slow down for a moment...Take a very deep breath in through your nose....hold it for 10 seconds and release it slowly through your mouth. Good, good, that's better.
Now the medication you are on is very well known as Celexa. I take this medication as well. It takes about 3 weeks or so to be in full effect.
Hun, you need to relax, I mean really relax. You don't have HIV, it's hard to get it from a woman. If you have an STD, which the results were negative, so I wouldn't worry, simple every day antibiotics can take care of that.
This could very well be the flu and nothing to worry about.
It's good to see that you are sober for a month now, Celexa and alcohol don't mix. Take WG's advice and stay off the computer for 24 hours. Absorb yourself in other things you used to enjoy.
Lastly, none of the symptoms you describe are those of HIV, moreso anxiety attacks which is most likely why you were prescribed the medication to begin with.
Are you sleeping well? A good night's sleep will work wonders. There are some medications that can be combined with the one you are already taking that will help balance your mental state with your sleep state.
