| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR CELEXA | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 4 | Depression | Decreased Libido,orgasm difficulties,dry mouth and altered sleep pattern | Whilst I have only been on Celexa for a short period of time I have not (So-Far) experienced side effects to the level that I have with all the others that I have tried! 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. Regulated my sleep patterns past the initial side effects. Also, decreased anxiety is a plus! | F | 20 | 3 months | 6/2/2002 | 4 | depression | Insomnia | M | 59 | 2 months | 5/28/2002 | 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 | 4 | ADHD/Depression | None | Have seen a lift in the way I view my day from about the third day already. Feel better about myself. Able to think about my future. My mom is waiting to make sure that the lift isn't just psychological. I am on Adderall as well. | M | 13 | 16 days | 5/11/2002 | 2 | Depression | restlessness | F | 43 | 30 days | 5/2/2002 | 1 | | 5/2/2002 | 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 | 3 | | 4/29/2002 | 4 | major depression/anxiety disorders | dry mouth (not bad and not consistent)sexual side-effects: orgasms very rare | not a complete solution to my problems, worked much better for anxiety symptoms than depression; sex side-effects can be frustrating, but overall MUCH better tolerated than Paxil or Serzone which I tried first. | F | 28 | 2 years | 4/26/2002 | 4 | | 4/26/2002 | 3 | depression & anxiety | I had terrible nausea the first two days, almost felt like vomiting. Still feel a bit jittery, but mood seems to be stabilizing to some degree. I've only been taking 10 mg/day for five days now, so I still need to wait and see how it works. | M | 45 | 5 days | 4/22/2002 | 4 | Depression | Diahhrea for the first few days but not too troublesome. Really bad yawning for about 2 weeks. If it hadn't worn off I would have to have stopped taking them. Couldn't eat for the first few days and was quite trembly and tense but this may have been more due to depression that the tablets The only side effect after 4 weeks is delayed, weakened orgasm but I can live with that, at least for the moment. | Really good response on 20mg. It's the only anti-depressant i've taken so can't compare it to anything else. Still have bad days but not as many and not as crushingly bad as they used to be. most of the time I'm back to my old self and i can concentrate on the things most important to me and can respond more rationally to situations | M | 25 | 1 months | 4/16/2002 | 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 | 4 | depression | at the begining (only 1st week) yawning, feeling tired, lack of apetite | F | 20 | 30 days | 12/26/2001 | 3 | | 12/26/2001 | 2 | anxiety due to IBS | Diarrea after every meal,lost 5 pounds, no sex drive | It really helped with my anxiety but due to the diarrea I was forced to stop taking it. I had it for 3 weeks non stop. | F | 2 | 3 weeks | 10/26/2001 | 3 | Severe Depression | It interacted a bit with my Synthroid (thyroid med) and I had some gastrointestinal problems. I couldn't cry in situations where I usually bawl. But All antidepressants effect me like that . Suzanne | F | 50 | 1 months | 10/11/2001 | 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 |
