anyone taking celexa?

I saw one of my docs the other day and he put me on celexa (antidepressant) and also is referring me to a counselor. not sure how good of an idea this is gonna be, not really good with talking to people about my problems/thoughts, present company excluded.  i've only started taking the celexa today but hopefully i will do some good, although i was thinking about it and i am not really sure how a pill can help with my problems. it can't fix anything and do the things that need to get done so i'm not sure yet.  is anyone taking or has taken celexa, if so how did it work for you?  did you have any side effects?
