 2  Anxiety, depression Extreme tiredness, dizziness, constantly hungry. All I wanted to do was sleep, eat, or stare at the walls. I too, did not probably give it enough time to reap benefits - but the side effects were so bad that I could not function. Even after stopping the pills, it took a few days to feel okay again. I didn't like that I couldn't F 21 1 weeks

 2  depression/anxiety the worst side effect was lack of organism, went to taking Lexapro and have had no problems except excess sweating. Like Lexapro a lot better than Celexa It had fewer side effects than a lot of the many drugs I have taken in the past, but the Lexapro is a whole lot better. No sexual side effects for me. Don't know why doctors don't tell patient's more about Lexapro Which I have taken for three yrs. now.. F 52 3 months

 2  emotional imbalance Endless yawning, drowsiness, skin tingling, gained over 50 pounds!!! vaginal spotting, sometimes agitation, For some reason the pamplets don't mention food and drugs to avoid. Don't consume Grapefruit juice, Tagamet, and certain cold medicines. I learned the hardway and it was horrible. The weight gain and skin tingling are the worst. F 33 1 years

 2  Anxiety & Depression Sexual side effects, lack of sexual desire and abilty to keep strong erection. Withdrawal sypmtoms are horrible as well. I was given Viagara to assit with this medication, and I was 30 years old. I used the Viagra one time and decided to switch medications because of this. I was then put on Effexor, which is just as bad! M 31 6 months

 2  depression nothing much, particularly when compared to Aropax I was on 60mg for about 8 weeks after coming off Aropax. I ended up the worst I have ever been. I now take 20mg in combination with 150mg of Desipramine. Citalopram apparently increases levels of desipramine by about 50%. F 24 4 months
