| 4 | depression | headache, low sex drive. | Helped with depression, satisfied with results overall. | M | 43 | 3 years | 10/29/2006 | 4 | panic attacks, anxiety | At the start the typical symptoms, I feel very strange, anxiety, problems to sleep. During the treatment ejaculatory delay, lack of desire... sexual disfunctions. | With the anxiety and panic attacks it was amazing, all dissapeared, I've started with 20mg, one month, up to 30mg the 2nd. | M | 28 | 1.2 years | 10/18/2006 | 4 | depression | only 4 days so far, i have been very tired,no appetite, hyper,euphoria,nuasea, some gas, | i deal with depression, just overall bad feeling in my chest.so far i love this, other then im exhausted all day and want to sleep. i go to work midnights and feel happy and WANT to be at work, happy i have a job,and much calmer,things dont seem to bother me as much. nothing overly upsets me, except a certain guy in my life which even he isnt afecting me as bad anymore. im just really happy and have noooo appetite, i have to force myself to eat. im hoping i dont end up with sexual side effects, cuz this is perfect so far. i feel so much better. | F | 35 | 4 days | 9/26/2006 | 4 | anxiety, insomnia, hot flashes | Side effects for me are drowsiness during the day even when taking the tablet right before bedtime. No sex drive. Weight gain of about 10 pounds. | Celexa is a good medicine for me. My family has gone through a major life change and this has helped me to have less anxiety about the situation and to get better rest. It has had an additional benefit of helping with hot flashes because I am unable to take hormones following a hysterectomy and also has helped with motion sickness! | F | 48 | 1 years | 9/12/2006 | 4 | anxiety/depression | tingling in arms during the first week, slight decrease in sex drive | F | 35 | 4 years | 8/21/2006 | 4 | Depression, anxiety | Since my last post, every side effects dissapeared except for difficult orgasm! Going from 20 mg to 10 mg did it seemingly.I almost quit and I don't regret waiting for the second week for the side effects to vanish. | I fing nothing extraordinary about Celexa so far. But I must admit that some depression clearing is evident now and then: more periods of positive thinking. I must state that my depression is very situational. Will comme come back in 2 weeks to report for a 1 month wrap up. | M | 54 | 15 days | 8/1/2006 | 4 | Mild Depression / Anxiety | Headaches for first few days, as well felt very lethargic the first two-four days on the medication (20 mg), now 3 months in I feel uncontrollable cravings and am hungry sometimes suddenly to the point I feel weak and dizzy | Even though I have gained some weight my mental health is much more important, this is the second time I have been on this medication and am grateful that it works when I need it. I do find it takes me 3-4 weeks to feel "normal". I feel calm, anxiety free and am loving life to the fullest! | F | 31 | 3 months | 7/28/2006 | 4 | Severe Panic Attacks | Bad nausea, drowsiness, tingling in hands and feet, trouble falling asleep but then slept for hours and hours with vivid dreams, usually not negative dreams though, weakness in arms, usually only one at a time, changes in appetite, sometime very hungry sometimes not hungry at all... | So far seems to be working... I had a few serious panic attacks during the first week on 10mgs that landed me back in the hospital, but now finishing up week 3 on 20mgs I have not had any panic attacks and seem to be getting things back under control. I have a very stressful job and am finding it a little difficult to return to work full time while I get used to this drug as I experience drowsiness during the day and I have never taken any drugs like this before... I think I should be taking the drug at night instead of first thing in the morning... I am holding in there as I can see that things are improving and based on the comments I have read on this page, it is worth the struggle... Any feedback is appreciated. | F | 25 | 3 weeks | 7/19/2006 | 4 | Depression/Anxiety | Increased Sweating, Vivid Dreams.

I could sleep the day away and still sleep at night time... that's just wrong to me. | It helped my depression almost instantly, it was only 1 week before I felt the positive effects. | F | 22 | 4 years | 7/4/2006 | 4 | migraines/depression/anxiety | day one - nauseated day two - very bad migraine day 3 - now: i feel very tired all the time even when i take it in the early evening. | since i started taking it, i have only had one migraine and one headache. this is a huge drop from having 4 migraines a month and a regular headaches at least half of the month. my anxiety and depression are calming down and i am generally able to sleep though the night which i haven't been able to do for about 2 years. | F | 28 | 2 weeks | 6/27/2006 | 4 | Social Anxiety | Some sexual side effects - slight decrease in libido, delayed ejaculation. | Have noticed that I am able to engage in conversations with others for longer periods of time - feel less tense in social situations. | M | 35 | 30 days | 6/20/2006 | 4 | experiments thats i was pondering? | i was really tired if i just had 25mg but if up the dosage to 100 i felt hollow couldnt sleep time flew fast but yet so slow two minutes was ten minutes i found if you inhale with your nose your mouth becomes semi numb in the back ichy if i would of snort or not i dont reckomen it um dizzy it was fun to walk long distants and if you wanted to take it and hour before a party | i am not purscribe to this drug but i heard of it and of corsouce i deside to try some and dont live by the modo i will do any thing three times i should should of stayed with twice but i am still taking it but its there i have not had any sexual problems the most i ever took was 125mg at a weight of 125lbs i rememeber much but i was experimenting and reaserching to see what i was getting my self in to but it turns out when i do fall asleep i do wake up but it does seem to me that i can after a large amount i have consumed and i do not recomend taking more the 125mg in less then day or ever but hey do what you like i have complaints one side and on the other i have great experiances but i dont see the drug being used for depression anxioy sorry if i am spelling the word wrong or any other symtoms sorry again if the word that is capalized i am sorry for any missed spelled owrd if it cuase you anger learning problem and a scholl that didnt beleave the doctors or my parents but i be | M | 19 | 6 weeks | 6/17/2006 | 4 | anxiety | makes me feel better | M | 4 weeks | 6/13/2006 | 4 | anxiety/depression | Cold achy feeling in legs and joints usually once or twice a day, Trouble sleeping, a little harder to reach orgasm.(Wife didn't complain. At first experienced bad stomach, yawning and jaw stiffness. | This is my second time with celexa, the first time was for almost 4 years, thought I could do with out it so I slowly weeded myself off. Lasted about 9 months and slipped back into depression, major anxiety. Started taking it again and after about 3 weeks I started feeling good again, able to resume a somewhat normal life. I'm not sure if there is any other pill out there that works as well, but I know celexa has done wonders for me | M | 40 | 3 months | 6/2/2006 | 4 | OCD | none unless skipped pills then felt tired dizzy and weak until dose was replaced. | Has made a great difference in the effects of OCD. Manageable | F | 15 | 4 years | 5/26/2006 | 4 | depression, anxiety | headache, minor dizziness and sleepiness after does for first 4 days | It's kinda hard to figure out what's Celexa related and not because much of what folks have described (increased sleepiness, jaw clenching, yawning, decreased libido, numbness) was occuring before I went on the medication. I was very nervous about taking any anti-depressants, but some of the anxiety already seems to be better...and I seem to actually have a *better* libido and ability to orgasm now. But it's only been less then a week, we'll see what happens! | F | 24 | 6 days | 5/23/2006 | 4 | depression | When I first starting taking it, I noticed some erection problems and severe delayed ejaculation. This went away after about 1 month. About 2 months ago I stupidly stopped taking it, because I felt good and didn't think I needed it anymore. Started feeling depressed again and started on it again. Have been on it a week now, and feeling more of the side effects now than I remember from the first time. Very fatigued, problems with erection and almost impossible to have an orgasm, but it has only been aweek, so hopefully the will go away like they did the first time. When I was on it I felt great, and hope to do so again soon. | M | 38 | 18 days | 5/22/2006 | 4 | bi polar | made me hyper | F | 18 | | 5/18/2006 | 4 | depressions/anxiety | When going onto the drug I feel more anxiety, yawning, still muscles, trouble sleeping. | I have now gained 20lbs over two years. I have an increased appetite (not sure if it messes up your metabolism or just changes my eating habits). I find this frustrating as I workout on a daily basis. As well, I don't orgasm with the same intensity, if at all. Sex drive is almost none existant. It does work for depression and anxiety but I hate having side effects. | F | 40 | 2 days | 5/17/2006 |
