| 4 | Depression | For me it helped my depression and minor aches and pains. I stopped this 2 years ago but this fall have been struggling with depression again. I have been lucky to not have a lot of side effects. | These antidepressants seem to block orgasms and after stopping the meds I still am unable to have orgasms. | F | 64 | 5 years 30 | 12/29/2018 | 5 | Depression | Sleepy at times, light headed if I move or get up to fast. | VA prescribed | M | 48 | 2 years | 6/11/2018 | 5 | Anxiety | First few weeks felt like there was a fist clenched in the front of my head and I would get very fatigued. I also got the 'rare' side effect of very high heart rate. Happened multiple times. Still get a little flutter here and there but oh well. It's worth it. | Love this drug. Helps tons. While I do still get some anxiety, episodes are few and far between, and when it does happen it will last for far less time. | F | 31 | 11 months 20 MG 1X day | 11/18/2017 | 1 | anxiety | Nausea,bloating,anxiety, dizziness and head and ears felt full! | Have tried SSRIs before and they just aren't for me. Make my anxiety worse! | F | 69 | 3 days 10 mg | 11/15/2017 | 5 | Depression | No noticeable side effects and very satisfied with the mental/emotional constancy provided by medication. Do have weight gain and generally sleeps 8-9 hours per night and easily could sleep more, but this was the same before the medication. | F | 41 | 12 years 20 1X day | 9/19/2017 | 2 | Depression and anxiety | When missing even a single dose, I would feel weird feeling in my head similar to electrical jolts. Things like moving my eyes to one side, sudden thought coming to mind or turnig my head seemed to provoke them. Besides, my sex drive dropped and I could have erection. | Didn't seem to make any impact on how I feel. Just like taking dummy pills. | M | 25 | 3 months 40 1X day | 6/2/2017 | 5 | Mild depression after major injury | None | After a major injury I was reluctant to 'get up and go' on a daily basis. I was emotional at small things and for no reason. After Citalopram I am a very level realistic and optimistic person, I have tried a couple of times to come off of it thinking I don't need it with no problem addiction-wise, however I go back to being emotional and feel like I am a better person for all around me when I take it :) | F | 23 | 1 years 20mg | 5/9/2017 | 4 | Depression and panic attacks | None | Excellent at dealing with chronic depression and panick attacks but highly addictive; in fact in my case impossible to stop. | M | 70 | 20 years 20 1X day | 4/2/2017 | 1 | depression | Severe shaking and jerks. | Please don't take this drug | 2 years | 4/2/2017 | 4 | depression and anxiety | Bad headache the first day, occasional nausea the first week or so, bouts of sweating were the worst but after the first couple of weeks those subsided then with each dosage increase had the sweating again for about a week | Wish I had known about Celexa long before now. Feel much more centered and peaceful. Helps a lot with symptoms of PMS especially mood swings. | F | 42 | 2 months 15mg | 3/23/2017 | 3 | major depression | Foggy eyes is the main one. | Can it be taken in combination with the Lamotrigine? | F | 58 | 1 days 20 mg | 3/9/2017 | 1 | Depression | Got up feeling angry. Shaking, very nervous. This sucks. | F | 55 | 10 days 40 mg | 3/5/2017 | 1 | For ibs | Shaking, irritable, no sex drive wasn't depressed but now I am depressed what's the point of living if you are going to be in pain | Yeah celex sucks, I want to cry and punch my fist through the wall I want to go back on librax which worked amazing but no doc said it is too addicting | F | 3 days | 2/12/2017 | 1 | Anxiety and Panic attacks | Omg this pill is terrible it made me worse,dizzy all day like a drunken feeling, depressed insomnia I was taking the 20 mg then cut the pill half please stay away from this one, lots of crazy side effects never felt so bad before, I stopped yesterday. | This is poison!! | F | 37 | 7 days 20 | 2/7/2017 | 1 | Depression | Cough, aggression,anger,suicide thoughts, loose appetite,confusion,compulsiveness | M | 50 | 1 months 10mg | 2/6/2017 | 2 | depression | Sexual anesthesia, sexual indifference, mild drowsiness, erectile dysfunction | Very effective for anxiety relief (causes emotional anesthesia, which is very helpful in severe depression/anxiety). Celexa was just one of several ssris I took. They left me with complete loss of sexual pleasure even after coming off of them. Please, look up Post SSRI Sexual Dysfunction before starting these medications. | M | 37 | 3 months 20-40 mg 1X day | 12/4/2016 | 5 | Severe anxiety & Severe major depre | Initial side effects wore off after a couple weeks. I continue to notice brain fogginess and confusion, I've become quite forgetful and have a hard time focusing. It's quite frustrating but the medication has done me wonders. | Give it a shot, the initial side effects will go away and it will likely help a lot. I've been happier and more energised since I started taking it, it's only my mind that is a bit less sharp (adjusting my dosage to see if it helps). | F | 24 | 1 years 20 MG | 11/23/2016 | 1 | psychosis, bipolar, severe depressi | No sex drive, weight gain, extra friendly. I haven't been on resperidal and celexa for two months. Lost my sex drive. Still have memory problems. But getting it back. No as emotional | F | 28 | 3 years 20 | 8/10/2016 | 1 | Depression, anxiety and weight loss | No sex drive, inability to orgasm, not feeling like myself, feeling "fuzzy" headed, headaches, diarrhea, suicidal | It helped me be comfortable around people, and I even sought out groups of people to spend time with! It seemed to lessen my anxiety, but, alas, I get the same results from a satisfying sex life so I stopped taking it. The withdrawals were extremely challenging as well. | F | 44 | 1 years 10 mg | 7/24/2016 | 1 | Anxiety | Made me numb to feelings and did not help with anxious thoughts. | F | 14 | 1 days | 7/13/2016 |
