| 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 | 3 | OCD, Depression | Delayed Orgasm, Spaciness, Twitches, High Blood Pressure | It was good for my depression. Helped alot with the OCD. I feel odd all the time though... I'm not myself. :9 Bye bye | M | 16 | 5 months | 11/10/2003 | 5 | Mild Depression | Decrease in sexual desire; weight gain | F | 38 | 6 years | 10/16/2003 | 4 | anxiety | F | 43 | 7 months | 10/6/2003 | 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. | F | 22 | 2 years | 9/29/2003 | 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 | 4 | panic attacks | none | Works great! | M | 30 | 1.5 years | 9/21/2003 | 3 | depression and chronic anxiety | lethargy, some problems with concentration; COUGHING! Don't know if the first two are really a consequence of the medication or remnants of the illness, but the latter is certainly drug-related. | Improvementon the horrors of Seroxat. Far fewer side effects. | F | 29 | 170 days | 9/19/2003 | 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 | 8/20/2003 | 4 | M | 42 | | 8/18/2003 | 4 | Depression | Sleepiness | M | 24 | | 8/8/2003 | 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 | 4 | depression | none so far | i feel better emotionally than i have for years and i have not had any side effects to date. | M | 56 | 21 days | 7/18/2003 | 4 | Depression/anxiety | Vivid dreams/nightmares, tired | Overall a good medicine for me. Suffered from depression/anxiety for most of my life. Celexa really helps. | F | 33 | 2 years | 7/10/2003 | 4 | depression and anxiety | I had some trouble sleeping if I took it in the evening. So I take in AM now. | It took a while for me to get the full effect. It helped right away with the anxiety, but the depression slowly lifted over about 2 months. It continues to improve. I have never felt this good, emotionally. | F | 39 | 3 months | 6/25/2003 | 3 | depression | insomnia, significant weight gain, forgetfulness | Helped with my depression, but am considering switching to Wellbutrin because of weight gain. | F | 40 | 6 months | 6/14/2003 | 3 | depressed | weight gain | F | 43 | 12 days | 6/10/2003 | 4 | anxiety | sleepiness. fatigue | F | 23 | 2 years | 5/31/2003 | 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 |
