Stick with meds? Celexa???

I'm not sure if what I am experiencing is normal as a result of getting used to the meds or if this is the wrong med for me....

I endured last week's worth of hightened anxiety and panick as a result of starting the meds. My sleep was disrupted etc... This part has subsided but I feel a little foggy in the head. Like when I wake up I do not at all feel refreshed but rather tired like I want to go back to bed.

Should I stick this out or should I call my Dr. and advise him that after two weeks I am not feeling much better? Please help give me some advice.

In addition, I still have basically no appetite except for sometimes in the evenings when I am probably very relaxed. Then I find that I can eat. During the day I have to literally force myself to eat something and I feel gagged.

Thanks in advance for your help and advice!

From the information I have read, side effects with citalopram are generally mild and are similar to those reported with other SSRI antidepressants. The most commonly reported side effects are headache, nausea, diarrhea, insomnia, sleepiness, dry mouth, increased sweating, fatigue, yawning, and flatulence. If you experience side effects after starting citalopram they will often improve over the first week or two as you continue to take the medication.

It may take up to 4-6 weeks for you body to adjust to the medication and for the full effect of your dose to kick in.  My hubby just started this med on 5/30 and he has not had any concerns re using it.  I did not mention any of the side effects therefore if something bothers him I could trace it back to Celexa if it was the culprit.

Good Luck,
