| 1 | My mom was | Do not take this medication. It caused so many side effects for my mom. She passed away from this drug in 2012. | F | 54 | 4 years 40 mg 1X day | 11/3/2023 | 1 | OCD, Anxiety, CPTSD | Please think very carefully when you're considering taking these drugs. They are an outdated, 1 fits all, personality altering, life destroying nightmare. SSRI's should be illegal. I was shoved on them by the GP when I was a child and have been on and off ever since. They make you an emotionless, loveless, unmotivated Zombie unable to engage with life. I was abused as a child and THIS is my problem. Not a flipping chemical imbalance. If only someone had helped me in the way I needed then this would never have happened. I now have to spend about 6 years tapering off these drugs as the withdrawals are a disaster. Please please consider other options. Find the root cause of your suffering and wherever possible stay away from your GP's. There is so much hope out there, so much information and new evolving trauma healing by modalities. You can heal organically you just have to become your own doctor! | F | 30 | 3 days 20mg 1X day | 7/18/2023 | 1 | Anxiety and OCD | vomiting, nausea, dizziness, heartburn, wake up gasping for air, increased panic attacks, bran fog | This is a terrible medication. I have only been on it for 5 days but i am going to get off of it. I have tingling and burning sensation in both arms, diarrhea, feel like i can’t breathe right. This is literally poison and i am so sad it didn’t work for me. | F | 21 | 5 days 20 MG 1X day | 6/21/2023 | 1 | Anxiety | Morning anxiety, burning sensations that caused panic, lethargic. I would not recommend this med. It also causes wierd flutters. | F | 45 | 14 days 10mg 1X day | 12/18/2022 | 1 | Anxiety | Run! The absolute worst crap I've ever taken. It's as if the dr prescribing it is attempting to kill me. Side effects are brutal, withdrawal effects even more so. Why do you think the arschlachs at celebrex out aside 9 million in defense funds...it's because this drug almost kills a person. Side effects, vision issues, breathing issues, gastro bleeding, suicidal thoughts, appetite loss, shakiness, diarrhea, etc... withdrawal issues, massive chest pain, panic attack, loss of bodily control, suicidal thoughts. Long term: breathing issues, gastro bleeding, vision, anxiety. Who did the tards at celebex pay off to get this crap approved? I'd like to find out, perhaps pay a visit to these assholes, see what they have to say...woukdn't it be nice....in theory, of course. | M | 35 days 10 1X day | 6/28/2022 | 1 | depression | It's hard to believe I took this pill every single day for 2 years, but the damage has been done at this point. it's been 5 years since I quit and I have zero libido, zero sex drive, can't be aroused, don't get w3t, and I feel like an emotional robot. No human emotions. This is pure soul death. Look up PSSD and please don't do this to yourself like I did. I feel suicidal every day because of the long term effects from this awful drug. | F | 34 | 2 years 1X day | 1/8/2022 | 1 | Anxiety disorder | I was having burning substations all under my upper chest area and forearms. Set me into major panic attacks. I thought I was gonna have to go to hospital. Only took it 5 days that was on the fifth day. I've been off it now 5 days and still getting occasional burning sensations. With panic attacks and taking clonazapam to help with panic from these weird body sinsations. | My doctor told me I'm to sensitive to meds. So I'm hoping this finally leaves my nervous system. | F | 64 | 5 days 5 mg 2X day | 9/20/2021 | 1 | Anxiety and depression | I am writing in retrospect about this drug that I took in 2012. Something went wrong while I was taking it when I was changing dose from 10mg to 20mg and it caused me to have a severe mental breakdown making me totally suicidal. I was rescued by taking 120mg Duloxotine although it took me one year to stop being suicidal. Citalopram is not safe. DON’T TAKE IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. IT’S TOO RISKY! | M | 45 | 2 months 20mg | 7/11/2021 | 1 | Depression | Vivid nightmares, no sex drive | I had the worst nightmares on this medication- vivid nightmares every night that had me feeling terrified and disturbed. I had never had nightmares of that frequency and vividness until I took Celexa. Horrible experience. | F | 31 | 60 days 30 mg 1X day | 4/3/2021 | 1 | Anxiety | Caused a gambling addiction - this is common and well documented but very little known. Got put on this at the same time as a friend who mortgaged his house to feed his gambling obsession. If I wasn't on the same thing I would never have believed it myself but the gambling was 100% due to the drug and went away as soon we quit. Weirdest thing. Sadly he lost his home because of it. | Can cause a gambling addiction in some people. Look it up. Normal people suddenly gambling away everything. It changes you. | M | 40 | 2 years 1X day | 10/29/2020 | 1 | Depression/Anxiety | Impotence, lethargy, somnolence, lack of motivation, apathy, weight gain (10 lbs), increased appetite... | I hate that drug so much! I almost don't remember anything while I was on it because I was sleeping 20h on 24h. I had to stop University until I switch to Prozac that was a million time better. | M | 32 | 30 days 20 mg 1X day | 8/28/2020 | 1 | Anxiety/ panic | I only took it once around 11 AM after waking up for the first time and not long after I experienced extreme nausea and projectile vomiting as well as terrible trouble falling asleep and constant panic for hours. I was really hopeful... I also experienced constant brain zaps on and off and it is now two days later and I'm still feeling the after effects... if anything I feel like it made my anxiety worse. Although I hope this doesn't discourage anyone because everyone is different but for me I don't think it's going to be good especially because it made me more suicidal than I ever normally would be. | F | 21 | 1 days 20mg 1X day | 8/9/2020 | 1 | Anxiety disorder | Terrible insomnia worsening anxiety and intrusive thoughts feeling paranoid | Not good for anxiety and PTSD | F | 28 | 5 weeks 20mg | 5/29/2020 | 1 | Depression | Hair loss, Crazy sex drive, Strange attitude, Worse depression, Mad thinking, Skin ageing, Burning scalp | Made most of my hair fall out and made me more depressed and angry was awful and a waste of time | M | 28 | 4 months 40 | 11/15/2019 | 1 | Anxiety | 6 hours into taking this medicine I feel very tired I feel like I am moving in slow motion, Very dizzy lower legs are tingling. No more no how no way! | F | 56 | 1 days 10 | 11/8/2019 | 1 | anxiety | Nausea,bloating,anxiety, dizziness and head and ears felt full! | Have tried SSRIs before and they just aren't for me. Make my anxiety worse! | F | 69 | 3 days 10 mg | 11/15/2017 | 1 | depression | Severe shaking and jerks. | Please don't take this drug | 2 years | 4/2/2017 | 1 | Depression | Got up feeling angry. Shaking, very nervous. This sucks. | F | 55 | 10 days 40 mg | 3/5/2017 | 1 | For ibs | Shaking, irritable, no sex drive wasn't depressed but now I am depressed what's the point of living if you are going to be in pain | Yeah celex sucks, I want to cry and punch my fist through the wall I want to go back on librax which worked amazing but no doc said it is too addicting | F | 3 days | 2/12/2017 | 1 | Anxiety and Panic attacks | Omg this pill is terrible it made me worse,dizzy all day like a drunken feeling, depressed insomnia I was taking the 20 mg then cut the pill half please stay away from this one, lots of crazy side effects never felt so bad before, I stopped yesterday. | This is poison!! | F | 37 | 7 days 20 | 2/7/2017 |
