I did well on 20 mgs for 10 years. Recently had to close my Health Care business after 20 years. I had no motivation, I was constantly worried, no sleep. Just increased it to 40 mg and doing much better. Not sleeping during the day and I have more energy.

I've got a few things wrong with me. Depression, Anxiety, Panic Attacks, OCD, Very bad MOOD SWINGS, Nausea, Weight Retention/Gain, Insomnia, Drowsiness, Dizziness, Headaches, Blurred Vision, irritability/crying, fatigue. I've tried taking Wellbutrin, but had felt worse. I was sensitive to everything.. "Light, Sound" Everything bothered me. That's when went back to my DR., Wrote a list of all of my symptoms and He prescribed me Celexa. As of now, I don't feel numb. I do however feel neutral. I'm not consumed with Depression.., Feeling sad, or hopeless. For the first time, in a long.., long time.. I feel content. I haven't lashed out or snapped at anyone. I haven't had any recent panic attacks. The only downside that I can see and that's feeling tired all the time and a little itchy and a lack of concentration, but the pros outweigh the cons..

I have lost both my parents, my husband and a best friend in the last 18 months to death. I have no more family. I decided to go 6 months ago just before I lost my husband and get some help. I was in counseling and it was helping but I was tired of crying all the time and so much mood swings. My body couldn't handle all that I was going through and finally my "little ball of sunshine" outlook went with it. Now that I have been on them so long I feel happy and I can smile again. Time is the only thing that really can heal you but a little help isn't bad along the way. If you are thinking about taking the pill like I was. Do it. It will make you feel better.

I began treatment nine months ago because I was stressed out beyond belief. I work full time and take 6-9 credit hours/semester while raising two children. Surprisingly I was diagnosed with depression. I started with 10 mg of Celexa. My mood improved tremendously within the first two weeks. I had zero side effects.

I began treatment nine months ago because I was stressed out beyond belief. I work full time and take 6-9 credit hours/semester while raising two children. Surprisingly I was diagnosed with depression. I started with 10 mg of Celexa. My mood improved tremendously within the first two weeks. I had zero side effects. I don't feel numb to emotion, in fact I feel like I have better control over my emotions. Everyday stresses bothered me less. Overall I am very pleased with this drug. The only downside for me is that it does not interact well with alcohol. I like to drink socially and can usually hold my liquor very well but, since being on this drug, I blackout easily which never happened to me before. I have be very careful not to overdo it.

Celexa has kept me from having severe panic attacks and has leveled me out with my depression. I have been taking it celexa for about 3 years and am in the process of reducing my dose. The only major downside is I have no sense of ever being full so I have gained quite a bit of weight.
