| 5 | depresiion/anxiety | I felt strange for the 1st 3 weeks, very spaced out and that was just on 10 mgs. I then went on to 20 mgs and after about a week I woke up and felt like someone had opened the curtains (all you depressives will know what I mean!) | I have suffered from bouts of depression/anxiety for 30 years for no apparent reason and have tried every way to cope with them, tablets, relaxation, willpower but these are the best! Very subtle, no racing thoughts, wanting to see people, and feeling glad to be alive. The only drawback I've found is effect on my sex drive which is upsetting but not as bad as being depressed. My doctor is going to put me back on 10 mgs (Cipramil Brand) to see if it helps. Don't give up on it over the 1st few weeks, it really is worth sticking to it! | F | 50 | | 2/25/2003 | 5 | anxiety and depression | The first week I experienced nausea, dry mouth, racing pulse, hot flashes, tiredness and about 9 other bad effects. | I almost quit taking it due to side effects. But, thank God I didn't quit. This has turned out to be a lifesaver for me. I take only 20 mg. As my friend told me, | F | 50 | 7 months | 2/20/2003 | 5 | Anger/Anxiety/Depression | A little tired when i first started taking medication | F | 34 | 3 months | 11/14/2002 | 5 | depression/obsessive thoughts | some nausea at first, I now take it with dinner and it's ok. | I feel so much improvement after three weeks and my doctor says it will only get better. | F | 57 | 3 weeks | 10/10/2002 | 5 | depression | F | 31 | 270 days | 9/19/2002 | 5 | Crohns and Anxiety | Very mild ejaculatory delay. Wife didn't mind. I just makes me last a little longer. | It costs less than the others | M | 44 | 3.5 years | 9/1/2002 | 5 | | 7/26/2002 | 5 | Peripheral Neuropathy & Depression | No side effects | Not as good for peripheral Neuropathy as Effexor, but not side effects | F | 55 | 6 weeks | 7/22/2002 | 5 | depression | after 14 mo. started having bad anxiety attacks and a very bad skin rash over my whole body. | I started cutting back to half a pill. After 2 weeks i now am going to try not taking it all together. | F | 62 | 14 months | 7/10/2002 | 5 | depression | dizziness,yawning | I was unable to function I was so depressed. Now after two months I am able to do all of the things (inside and outside of work) that I am accustomed to doing. I am able to laugh again. | F | 55 | 60 days | 6/18/2002 | 5 | for depression | When I first started taking celexa I was a bit drozy.So I took it at bed time. | It has been a life saver | F | 59 | 1 years | 6/10/2002 | 5 | major depression/panic disorder | drowsiness (I was also taking mild tranquilizers in addition), loss of appetite for about the first week and a half... | I started feeling better after about 3 1/2 --4 weeks. Otherwise, no problems....friends, teammates, and college roommate noticed a change in my mood for the better. I have a more positive outlook on life and fewer negative thoughts. Regulated my sleep patterns past the initial side effects. Also, decreased anxiety is a plus! | F | 20 | 3 months | 6/2/2002 | 5 | depression | little dizzy and headachey for about a week...then it stopped and i was fine.. i've been on the medication for over 8 months...one tablet daily.... Perfect.... its is an exceptional medicine in my opinion.... | M | 47 | 8 months | 5/23/2002 | 5 | Depression and GAD | Almost none. More frequent and bizarre dreams, but that's been somewhat entertaining. :) | Best drug I've tried - works as well as some others, but has no irritating side effects. Cleared up the dry mouth and constipation I had on Effexor XR, and doesn't make me drowsy like Paxil and Serzone. If you've had trouble finding the right drug, give this one a try! | F | 30 | 5 months | 5/1/2002 | 5 | major depression, panic attacks | I had a mild upset stomach the first week or so but aside from that none whatsoever. If anything it may have helped my sex drive. | Nothing short of miraculous - a major depression that lasted 4 1/2 years was done in a matter of about 2-3 weeks. I feel like my old self again! No more dreaded panic attacks either. Best of all - NO side effects. I know antidepressents can affect everyone differently but based upon my experience with it I'd highly recommend it. | M | 26 | 9 months | 2/7/2002 | 5 | Depression | Dry mouth and sleeplessness, some dizziness for about a week. These went away. | Changed my lift. Created a new interest in life. | F | 40 | 18 months | 10/7/2001 | 5 | depression | limited | better than prozac and wellbutrin both of which it reid and had terrible side effects | F | 29 | | 8/20/2001 | 5 | OCD | NAUSEA THE FIRST WEEK. | F | 35 | 6 months | 5/7/2001 | 5 | anger/depression | Male sexual effects, problems with ejaculation were common and problematic. This caused increased frustration. Also dizziness and nausea when going off of the medicine after a prolonged perion. | A wonder drug for me. I was always flying off the handle and in a depressed state. After one week and now after one year, my mood and life has dramatically changed. | M | 34 | 510 days | 5/1/2001 |
