Day 2-It was hard to get out of bed-lots of yawning all day-but no other side effects. the stoned feeling is gone. | I have only taken this for 2 days so I will write again but so far no bad side effects. when i took it on day 1 i had a slightly stoned feeling about 20 minutes after taking the pill. when i took the pill on day 2 i didnt have that feeling. slight headache off and on. it was hard to get out of bed this morning but when i did i had energy. i have been yawning all day which makes you fell like your tired but you have energy. All good stuff so far. | F | 27 | 2 days 10mg 1X day | 2/4/2010 | 4 | Anxiety | Yawning,loss of appetite,insomnia | I started taking 10mg and now i am up to 20mg. with the 10mg no real side effects accept yawning. Now that I am up to 20mg the side effects are yawning, hard time falling asleep and staying asleep, loss of appetite. Not bad | F | 27 | 2 weeks 20 1X day | 2/16/2010 | 4 | Anxiety | yawning,slight insomnia,slight loss of appetite,slight nausea off an on throughout the day,difficulty to orgasm. | Although I have listed side effects these are managable compared to the anxiety issues. the only side effects i hope do not continue are the difficulty to orgasm and slight nausea off and on. great medication | F | 27 | 3 weeks 20mg 1X day | 2/19/2010 | 4 | Anxiety | yawning, slight headaches, hard to orgasm, lack of appetite, slight insomnia, nausea | My doctor took forever to refill my medicine and ive been off of this for 4 days. I have felt sick off and on since. a dizzy feeling in my head. cant wait to get the perscription! | F | 27 | 1 months 20mg 1X day | 3/1/2010 | 4 | depression/anxiety | The only side effect I've had since taking this med is sweating. | Stopping the medication is unpleasant | F | 27 | 4 years 40mg 1X day | 6/19/2010 | 4 | depression, anxiety | For the first few weeks, I was very tired. The only sexual side effect was delayed orgasm; that's subsided somewhat. | M | 27 | 2 years | 9/4/2001 | 3 | Depression, Anxiety, Panic Attacks | Within an hour of taking the drug I had a BAD panic attack, for the next few days I continually had more panic attacks, not as bad as the first one though. Dizzyness, sickness, diarrhea, loosing my train of thought easily, loosing balance, apathy and euphoria all at once, and the classic zombie like state. | Took it 4 times over 5 days. On the fifth day doctor called me back said don't take it anymore and come in next week. I hear a lot of good things about this drug, maybe it was the batch I got was weird, maybe it's just my body chemistry. But apparently I'm one of the few who had an adverse reaction to it. | M | 27 | 4 days 20mg 1X day | 5/11/2012 | 3 | Celexa | Crazy nightmares/dreams. Insomnia. I can fall asleep but wake up every half hour. Dazed feeling. Delayed orgasm...hehe good thing. Trouble getting up in the morning, probably cause I can't sleep well. | Seems to have alleviated some anxiety but feel spacey and the nightmares and sleeping suck. Thinking about stopping it. | M | 27 | 20 days | 11/30/2006 | 3 | social anxiety, generalized anxiety | increased anxiety and inner restlessness | I've only been on it for 3 days but I don't think I can keep taking it for a few more weeks waiting for it to 'kick in'. I went to a restaurant on Day 3 and I felt so much inner agitation and anxiety and I felt like I could climb the walls and I wanted to run out of the restaurant and go home, the only reason I didn't was because someone else was with me and they didn't want to leave. SSRI's don't agree with me, they make me more anxious and tense physically than when I'm not on them. I was on Lexapro before and I also had a lot more anxiety and tension the whole time I was taking it - for 4 years. The constant tension and anxiety didn't go away until I weaned off of the Lexapro. | F | 27 | 3 days 10 mg 1X day | 4/28/2011 | 3 | Anxiety | Weight Gain, Sexual side effects | I took this drug on and off for 3 years (2 years on, 1 off). It definetely helped my anxiety. The major side effect was the weight gain. Trying the new version (Lexapro) now. I'm hoping it will have better side effects. | M | 27 | 2 years | 7/2/2007 | 3 | anxiety | Pretty bad joint pain. VERY tired almost all day long. | Was on it for anxiety, and it helped quite a bit for it, but I hated being tired all day long, with no energy... Also, I did not like the joint pain. Decided with my doctor to stop taking this and try Buspar- doing a little better. I know many people who have been very successful on Celexa though... you may be one of them. | F | 27 | 1 months | 4/25/2006 | 3 | depression | weight gain of 35 pounds, extremely tired all the time, but I've been diagnosed with narcolepsy, after reading comments, maybe it's the med, lack of emotion and motivation. | Worked well for depression. | F | 27 | 3 years | 2/24/2007 | 3 | Anxiety, Stress, Minor Depression | After a few weeks of taking the product my focus seemed to be a bit off and I became more and more irritable. The product does work and there were no severe side effects, but because of the irritability I had after taking the product I have tried to cut back on my dosage per the doctor's recommendations. Celexa 20mg pills/pink caplets. | M | 27 | 60 days | 6/3/2004 | 3 | depression | MAJOR weight gain!! Can't stand it! Sleepy, but Insomnia. Leg pain. loss for words, memory problems. Horrible withdrawl if I forget to take it for a few days....elecrical shock feeling through my body. did i mention i gained a TON of weight...(now i am more depressed) | it has made me easier to deal with for my family. less moody most of the time....but now i am FAT!!! | F | 27 | 3 years | 10/18/2004 | 3 | Depression & anxiety | Major lift in my mood. I actually was really horny on celexa lol my husband didnt mind this lol. I Did feel brain zaps & like muscle tightness. However I did stop the medication because I felt lile I was getting better & I was & overall I didnt feel like myself on this medication it made me feel different but it did het me through a hard time my life | F | 27 | 1 months 20mh | 9/22/2019 | 3 | fibromyalgia (pain sleeplessness) | not until I stopped it , then withdrawal was tough!!!! | When I stopped taking it after having been on it for about 2 years I experienced dizziness, flu symptoms and near blackout episodes. I was slowly weaned off of it but even then the side effects continued for almost a month after I had stopped taking it, if you stop taking it talk to your doctor first! It can be a hard road and you may need to go slowly or start some longer acting drug like prozac near the end. | F | 27 | 2 years | 3/15/2003 | 3 | Depression and Anxiety | Anxiousness 2 hours after taking it. Nausea and diarreah got progressively worse until I vomited at my desk and had to go home after being on it for a week. | My mood has lifted tremendously but the diarreah and vomiting is a big problem. If I can't function normally, how can I enjoy my happiness? I took it 4 yrs ago and don't remember these problems. It might be that I'm on the generic. I still have a hard time getting out of bed, but once I do I'm good. I laugh more now than I have in months. It will be sad to have to change medications if these problems dont cease. | F | 27 | 8 days | 2/13/2008 | 3 | Depression/OCD | Tiredness, lack of energy | The OCD was assisted with celexa but I was really tired all the time. I was put on this after I had severe side effects on Paroxetine - just not the drug for me. I am trying Prozac at the moment and waiting to see if this is the drug for me | F | 27 | 1 years | 8/4/2007 | 3 | PMDD/depression/anxiety/panic | INSOMNIA, hyped up,loss of appetite, fear of dying, panic, headaches | I started having bad side effects from effexor after a stressful situation. I just tried celexa for a week and I am only taking 5mg and working my way up. But even with the very low dose, I am super anxiety, cannot workout because my system is so charge up. I have been taking colonapin at night just so i can sleep and calm my nervous system down. I hope that all of this anxiousness fades after the first couple of weeks :( | F | 27 | 1 weeks | 4/11/2007 |
