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 | 4 | generalized anxiety disorder | F | 21 | 6 weeks | 8/16/2002 | 3 | anxiety/depression | Initial insomnia but after three days or so slept better than I had for years. Hot flashes that were NOT due to menopause, as when I decreased dosage they stopped. Numbness in genital area poor orgasms. | Helped a lot with anxiety/ depression/ sleep. Sexual side effects are now becoming so distressing that I want to quit taking it. | F | 46 | 7 months | 7/31/2002 | 5 | | 7/26/2002 | 4 | anxiety/depression | sweating, absoulutely no sex drive, teeth clenching, yawning, no energy, weight gain. | My mood was much better, controlled my temper a lot! Had a better outlook on things. Just got fed up with side effects. Trying Wellbutrin SR now. Hopefully will lose weight with it. | 41 | 2 years | 7/24/2002 | 3 | depression | nauseua,cotton-mouth, head-aches | M | 22 | 5 months | 7/24/2002 | 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 | 3 | depression | none, really | seems to work average,can tell when i DONT take, but hasn't really given me the results i have had with other medication. | F | 23 | 6 months | 7/14/2002 | 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 | 4 | clinical depression/anxiety | dry mouth, some sexual disinterest, and inability to cry | Celexa is the 5th med I've taken and is the only one without diblitating side effects. | F | 20 | 2 years | 7/9/2002 | 3 | Depresion, Social Anxiety, OCD | First two weeks there was an increase in anxiety and agitation, but that went away. The only lasting side-effects have been severely delayed and muted orgasm and occasional night sweats. Except for that this drug has been pretty transparent. | Helped a lot with depression. Helped only a little for Social Anxiety and OCD. Didn't help with ADHD sympoms but it's not really used much for that. I'm up to 80mg now, but I think it's equally effective at 60. Do NOT take this medication for anxiety UNLESS you get a benzo also. You only need that for the first 2-3 weeks to counteract the TEMPORARY increase in anxiety. | M | 38 | 4 months | 7/8/2002 | 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.

The sexual dysfunction is a small price to pay (could be my age) | M | 50 | 3 weeks | 6/11/2002 | 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.
