 4  depression/bipolar i got fat. in general i thought this was a great drug. it really improved my mood, but i wasn't too happy with the side-effect. i gain a lot of weight and fast. i couldn't stop thinking bout eating, i was constantly eating and i couldn't stop. i was never really hungry, but i never got full. i think this would be great for anorexia. it's wasn't bad when i took it at 20mg, but at 40mg is when all i could think about was food.

 4  depression,anxiety,OCD Nothing major. Seems to be the mildest form as compared to Paxil. I do like the Celexa because I feel more grounded and very much at the norm. I went on Paxil CR for one month, after trying Celexa for one month. The Paxil was too strong. I'm back on the Celexa for two months and am sticking with it. It takes a little time because it is mild. F 40 2 months
