Try using our serarch feature at the top of the forum in the dark blue strip - type in Celexa and you will find all kinds of old threads that speak to Celexa.

I use this feature frequently.

Kindly,

Found this on the web, but everyone is different, so it's hard to guess how you could react. I have heard good things about it from a lot of people too.

*Nausea -- in up to 21 percent of people
*Dry mouth -- up to 20 percent (see Celexa and Dry Mouth)
*Drowsiness -- up to 18 percent
*Insomnia -- up to 15 percent (see Celexa and Insomnia)
*Increased sweating -- up to 11 percent
*Shakiness (tremor) -- up to 8 percent
*Diarrhea -- up to 8 percent
*Ejaculation problems -- up to 6 percent (see Celexa Sexual Side Effects).

Read up on it and base your decision on the information that you see. You may have to try several before you find the right med for you.

Good luck,
S.C.

Hi ameyers6, I have been on Celexa 20mg since last January. The only problem I ever have with it is after taking it I get very tried. This is a easy fix though I just take it at night before I go to bed. I don't know if you have been on any antidepressants for a long period of time so I will tell you the first few weeks of taking the meds your body has to adjust to it. That period of time is when people get the side effects the most. During the first two weeks my anxiety was increased but I stayed with the meds and after week 3 I started feeling much better!

I tolerate Celexa whithout any problems.  I do take a cocktail of meds for my anxiety and depression so it is sometimes hard to know which meds cause certainly undesirable effects.

Good Luck,

Kitt
