| 5 | | 7/7/2006 | 5 | | 7/26/2002 | 5 | anxiety | At the beginning my anxiety increased. Over a period of 8 weeks my anxiety subsided and has helped me tremendously. | F | 2 years | 8/8/2007 | 5 | moody | no side effects | F | 2 weeks | 8/11/2008 | 5 | C-PTSD and Anxiety disorder | No libido whatsoever | Helped so much; my miracle drug! I spent about a 1.5 years on Zoloft for depression, but started misusing it when anxiety came on. Finally had a complete anxiety meltdown that sent me to the ER. The next day my doc took me off Zoloft and gave me Celexa. It took a while for the anxiety to settle down, but I felt hopeful for the first time. My panic attacks went from constant, to sometimes, to now and then, to hardly, and now basically non-existent. I still get a little edgy on rare occasions if I'm really stressed, but no actual panic attacks in about a year. | F | 2.5 years 20 MG 1X day | 10/28/2014 | 4 | GAD, OCD, Adjustment Disorder | Lack of sex drive | This drug was a life-saver for me when I first started having panic attacks. It made me feel like myself again. After 3 years it just stopped working. I didn't have any problem stopping it. I was also on Buspar so that probably helped. I started Lexapro as a replacement, but stopped that after three weeks due to side effects. Just taking the Buspar now. Have heard that Celexa may work again if I stay off it awhile. | M | 3 years 40 mg 1X day | 9/30/2019 | 4 | depression | | 10/8/2002 | 4 | | 4/26/2002 | 4 | | 9/7/2005 | 4 | anxiety | makes me feel better | M | 4 weeks | 6/13/2006 | 3 | | 12/7/2005 | 3 | Depression | 1 days | 10/16/2012 | 3 | | 8/27/2006 | 3 | | 12/18/2004 | 3 | | 4/29/2002 | 3 | | 12/26/2001 | 3 | | 1/18/2005 | 3 | | 2/4/2005 | 3 | | 11/26/2007 | 3 | Depression | I ate more than I usually did and gain some weight. Also, the first few weeks, i started taking naps because i got drowsy. | I took for it for 3 months and i saw some change. I felt slightly less negative about life but I was still having days were i was too depressed to get out of bed. I was told I would have to wait a month for the effects to happen but 3 months passed and nothing happened. When I first started taking it, i accidentally took more than i was supposed too and had a bad urge to self harm and felt like i was floating | F | 3 months 10 mg 1X day | 5/15/2015 |
