| 4 | GAD, Panic disw/agoraph,social phob | had trouble sleeping before but celexa made it worse. no sexual side effects. lots of yawning. | This has really elevated my mood and the panic is alot better. Still occasionally have attacks but feel more confident about going into social situations. Been on 20mgs for a little over 3 weeks. Doctor prescribed Trazodone to help me sleep at night. | F | 31 | 3 weeks | 12/29/2002 | 3 | depression | sleepy, low sex drive and abilities | M | 39 | 6 months | 12/22/2002 | 4 | anxiety | none | M | 32 | | 12/11/2002 | 4 | anxiety | M | 34 | 1 years | 12/9/2002 | 3 | depression | Massive night sweats, 5 lb. weight gain over 6 months time (which is a lot for me). Severe headaches, nauseated feeling,weak when stopping the medication...was in sheer hell for 2 weeks. Night sweats have stopped now that I'm no longer on it! Also, killed sex drive and ability to have orgasms. Celexa helped my depression, but not worth the long term side effects. | F | 30 | 1 years | 12/4/2002 | 4 | ANXIETY | SEX DRIVE REDUCED AND INITIALY THOUGHT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ORGASM AGAIN. I HAVE NOTICED A LITTLE JAW CLENCHING ALSO. | DOCTOR PUT ME ON CELEXA AFTER I HAD CONSTANTLY TOLD HIM THAT I WAS STILL SUFFERING ANXIETY / FEELING OF UN CONTROLLED TREMBLING (THOUGH I WASN'T)WHEN I WAS ONLY TAKING BETA BLOCKERS. I AM TAKING CELEXA IN COMBINATION WITH BETA BLOCKERS (FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND ANXIETY). TREMBLING STOPPED ALSMOST IMMEDIATELY THOUGH ANXIETY IS STILL HERE BUT GETTING BETTER SLOWLY. APART FROM THE SEX DRIVE ISSUE I HAVE BEEN PLEASED WITH CELEXA BUT STILL CRAVE THE DAY I WILL BE TOTALLY MEDICATION FREE. | M | 33 | 1 months | 11/22/2002 | 4 | severe pms | F | 35 | 9 months | 11/18/2002 | 5 | Anger/Anxiety/Depression | A little tired when i first started taking medication | F | 34 | 3 months | 11/14/2002 | 4 | F | 34 | 3 months | 11/14/2002 | 3 | anxiety | Yawning for 1 week and drowsiness, but now i'm ok | F | 25 | 1 months | 11/6/2002 | 4 | Depression | omg dysfunctional penis!! no orgams. A little jaw-clenching too. | M | 24 | 9 months | 10/26/2002 | 1 | Anxiety and depression | Hallucinations, dizziness, sickness (after half a tablet) | F | 18 | 1 days | 10/16/2002 | 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 | 4 | depression | | 10/8/2002 | 2 | Anxiety & Depression | Sexual side effects, lack of sexual desire and abilty to keep strong erection. Withdrawal sypmtoms are horrible as well. I was given Viagara to assit with this medication, and I was 30 years old. I used the Viagra one time and decided to switch medications because of this. I was then put on Effexor, which is just as bad! | M | 31 | 6 months | 10/3/2002 | 3 | to treat mild depression/severe PMS | Insanely itchy skin! Insomnia worse than other antidepressants. very dry mouth. | F | 44 | 1.5 months | 10/2/2002 | 4 | Mild Depression | Reduced libido. | Great drug except for the side effect. | F | 37 | 1 years | 10/1/2002 | 2 | anxiety | tired and hear racing | F | 35 | 1 weeks | 9/28/2002 | 5 | depression | F | 31 | 270 days | 9/19/2002 | 4 | Anxiety & depression | Severe Nausea, dizzy, and tremors. Dr. told me to take 1/2 pill (20mg) in morning and 1/2 at night. This helped. | Have only been taking Celexa for a week but already can tell that I feel more "mellow" now than before. Work is the primary cause of my stress and anxiety and I feel "almost" like I can handle it now. | F | 46 | 7 days | 9/18/2002 |
