| 5 | Anxiety & Depression | Nausea, periods of sleepiness, jaw-clenching, change of taste, & weight loss. However, these will coincide in time for me. | I have been off and on Celexa for 4 years. It works well for me. I have tried Paxil and Lexapro, but could not tolerate either. I suggest with any of the SSRI's to start a low dosage. | F | 38 | 4 years | 8/5/2004 | 5 | Anxiety/depression | Initially Insomnia which lasted for about 4-5 weeks,but this was complicated by the fact that I had been taking Nortriptyline for 5 years,and went off it cold turkey.I would say the Nortriptyline going out of my system exacerbated this problem.Lack of appetite,and weight loss(Hey,im a girl whos complaining!!) | If you are taking this medication,and having the same symptoms as Ive had,stick with it and give it a chance.This medication has reduced my anxiety dramatically,to say nothing of helping with obsessive thoughts,and analysing problems over and over and over.....its given me clarity,more self esteem because of this and a feeling of control over my life again.After 5 years of feeling like someone else was living in my head im so grateful..sounds to good to be true, but it is!!! | F | 30 | 3 months | 7/17/2004 | 5 | anxiety | M | 38 | 10 days | 7/7/2004 | 5 | depression and binge eating | absolutely none | I experienced sexual side effects on Zoloft so I switched to Celexa and the results have been great. I've noticed a good decrease in my binge eating as well. | F | 33 | 2 years | 7/6/2004 | 5 | Depression | Very little, decreased sexual desire at first, went away. | wonder drug, am now taking with wellbutrin and haven't felt this good in years. Went through the zoloft, effexor, prozac, wellbutrin, buspar, nothing worked, this is wonderful. Have been taking for the past 5 years now with no long term side effects. | M | 32 | 5 years | 6/30/2004 | 5 | for anxiety and depression | Weight gain | F | 57 | 2 years | 6/29/2004 | 5 | panic attacks, anxiety | A few side effects while adjusting for the first few weeks (insomnia, spaciness, etc.) | Celexa has given me myself and my life back. I am no longer consumed by anxiety, and I'm able to focus on and enjoy living. For me, taking Celexa has been worth it. | F | 22 | 5 years | 6/22/2004 | 5 | Depression | I dont see many side effects except dry mouth and low sex drive (which in my case is just as well) | celexa has done the job ( i still have anxiety attacks but not as bad and no more week long bouts of severe depression.It works for me and I would not stop it .I take 60 mgs a day.I still have trouble at times but for the most part it works very well. | F | 56 | 4 years | 6/4/2004 | 5 | bipolar disorder | No Sexa with Celexa | No orgasms or extremely muted. Weight gain. Terrible drug. | F | 48 | 10 days | 5/18/2004 | 5 | depression, dysthymia | sexual disfunction, fatigue, insomnia | M | 54 | 2 years | 5/13/2004 | 5 | F | 44 | 3 years | 4/24/2004 | 5 | Depression/Anxiety | Headaches(At First),A Few Weird Dreams... | Well what can i say i have taken these only a week now and feel as though that someone has given me a second chance in life ... I feel inner peace and can interact with others which i was finding difficult before im on holiday at the moment from work but am hoping my anxiety clears totally for when i go back ... I am starting to feel like a new person i hope to the future and that it may continue ... Try these out ... | M | 33 | 7 days | 3/28/2004 | 5 | Depression | For first few weeks yawning, drowsiness, dry mouth, nausea - all stopped within a few weeks. Still sleep more than I used to but i dont get drowsiness if i take it in the afternoon or evening. | It has helped me so much. I was severely depressed when I started taking it and it made me feel better within a few weeks like i was coming out of a black hole, but as the months went on I felt better and better and have realised I was depressed for a lot longer than I thought. I had forgotten what it was like to feel normal, and this drug has made me feel normal again - which is wonderful. It hasnt numbed my feelings, but I am now a happy person with positive thoughts and rational emotions and feel i can cope very well when i couldnt cope at all before. | F | 23 | 8 months | 3/11/2004 | 5 | Major Depression | Yawning. Tired. Am going to start taking it at night. Libido. | Love it. Thank God for Celexa. To anyone out there who is thinking about this medication; stay with it and give it some time. | F | 51 | 2 years | 2/11/2004 | 5 | Depression | none | I'm taking 40 mgs for about a month now (up from 20). I would highly recommend this drug. | F | 40 | 7 months | 11/23/2003 | 5 | Mild Depression | Decrease in sexual desire; weight gain | F | 38 | 6 years | 10/16/2003 | 5 | depression | slight nausea at 10 mgs; cut down to 5 mgs for a week, then 10 mgs for a week, then up to 20 mgs. I have some difficulty reaching orgasm when I'm really tired, but that's it. | It has been a lifesaver. I am able to control my frustration at work, and have a great sense of contentedness and wellbeing that I didn't have before--and there has not been any change in my life circumstances. I had tried welbutrin, but felt a buzz with it. | F | 46 | 4 months | 9/24/2003 | 5 | anxiety attacks | loss of appetite; some tired-ness | this medicine has been fabulous for me. since i've been on celexa (about 3 years) i have had maybe 2 or 3 panic attacks during that time. before that i was having 2 or 3 a day. i definitely recommend people to try this out and see if it works for them. and also - if it doesn't work, don't give up. there are other medications out there they may be better for you personally! | F | 27 | 3 years | 7/24/2003 | 5 | anxiety/depression | Weight LOSS (which is why I REALLY like it), but I also haven't had a panic attack since it 'kicked in' (about 2 weeks after I started it) almost 2 months ago. | F | 41 | 2 months | 5/14/2003 | 5 | depression, ptsd, boarderline | none | Great Drug! I had no side efects | F | 28 | 3 years | 4/28/2003 |
