Depression

Sex: M
Age: 40.0 Side effects: Total loss of libido. Time taken and dosage: 1 years60 MG 1X D Review: I started on this medication a year ago for depression and it worked well. It took a few weeks for me to feel the depression lifting, but once it did then it was gone for good! I didnt rate this medication a 5 because the loss of libido seriously interferes in my life. But for it to conquer my depression, which was bad, it gets a high rating anyway.

Severe anxiety, bad insomnia
by Reviewer32438
on June 5, 2010
Sex: M
Age: 45.0 Side effects: Manic mornings after taking pill that settled down by noon. Weird electrical zaps in my head, light-headed feeling, gained 10-15lbs no matter how little I ate, feeling of invincibility. Time taken and dosage: 2.5 years20mg 1X D Review: My anxiety started gradually but eventually I got to the point where I couldnt handle work or social functions with more than a couple people. I had been on Zoloft 10 years before for depression but this wasnt depression so it took me a while to realize what was happening. I also had been suffering with insomnia for almost 4 years sleeping barely four hours a night. I was a wreck.My doctor prescribed Celexa/Citalopram and almost immediately my insomnia ended and so did my anxiety. I was a new person and everyone around me noticed. This drug saved me.But it also caused annoying weight gain that I could not control and certainly I couldnt drink alcohol like I used to. You simply cannot drink booze in any quantity without getting really messed up. I cut back but wouldnt quit entirely.Besides euphoric, manic mornings after taking the pill, I began to feel invincible and nearly screwed up my entire life. I was reckless to the point of endangerment and I nearly ended a very good relationship. Sexual function actually increased which encouraged the desire to stray. I ended up having to quit because even though I was right, I should have demurred to nasty upper management who didnt like my new attitude.I ended up weening myself off of it and had serious depression the following week but felt normal again after that.Now, 8 months later, Im depressed as hell how my life has changed and need to figure out how to stop my suicidal thoughts.Im sick

Age: 38.0 Side effects: TERRIBLE REACTION. Day 1- woke up 2am soaked with sweat, thought it was a normal side effect. Day 2- Went to do my normal run, very stiff had to stop. Day 3- Muscles buldging out of the back of my thighs, limping, felt like fire going thru my veins. Felt like I was in a microwave heating from the inside out. Went off of it and slowly my muscles relaxed, not able to run anymore though my body feels like it has aged 20 years. Dr. didnt believe it could cause this and told me to re try in a week, Took only 2.5 mgs this time, instant fire in my legs. I believe that it caused Peripheral Neuropathy. Time taken and dosage: 3 days5mg 1X D Review: Start out very slow, see how your body reacts. I was not able to even metabolize 5mgs of this med. Thank god I knew enough not to start at 20mgs.

Sex: F
Age: 54.0 Side effects: Euphoria. Lack of concern about consequences of actions. A feeling that nothing that could happen would make me feel bad or sad. Friendliness. Time taken and dosage: 3 months 1X D Review: I went off Celexa because I realized (cognitively) that the euphoria I was feeling & acting on was not good for me, that my behavior had become a problem. I did not consult a psychiatrist or even a full-fledged medical doctor, I was going to the Indigent Clinic & out of work. I dropped the drug totally, cold-turkey. Then I started feeling spacey, strange, I had dizziness, a feeling I couldnt describe; I passed out once & fell off a ladder. Then after about 2 weeks I went into the deepest depression Ive ever been in. It lasted for over 9 months. At the deepest, I was in bed about 22 hrs of every day, I wanted nothing but to sleep my life away. I would try to watch TV & I would burst into tears. I thought about dying as a release. I finally dragged myself back to the Indigent Clinic, told the resident, he put me on an antipsychotic which made me incredibly ill, I ran a high fever & had abdominal pain. I stopped taking it. He told me never to take another anti-depressant, he said I might be bipolar. After that, I never consulted the Indigent Clinic again for anything mental, or anyone else. I do not trust anyone to prescribe anything for mental problems for me. I know of no one here I would allow to prescribe for me. I have gradually gotten better. I started reading articles about mood-boosting foods & behaviors, I changed my diet gradually, got completely off of caffeine & started eating foods with Omega-3s like

Age: 55.0 Side effects: Sleepiness. More anxiety first week, then that tapered off. Some of the generics gave me nausea. Time taken and dosage: 3 years20 mg 1X D Review: This is a really great drug if you have combined anxiety and depression because it does not make you hyper. It can make you sleepy though so I take it at night before I go to bed. This makes me much less foggy in the morning. I have been taking it for 3 years and I think I will probably take much longer because I couldnt function without it.

Sex: F
Age: 34.0 Side effects: every single one imaginable and then some, and made my panic attacks more frequent and WAY worse. Ive stopped this HORRIFIC medication about a month ago and have been living a hell on Earth. Barely able to work, headaches, SEVERE skeletal and muscle pain, horrific vivid dreams. For the whole 2 weeks of feeling decent on the medication, this withdrawal which seemingly is NEVER going to end is NOT worth it. If I could sue the makers of this drug I WOULD. I HATE this drug, and would never recommend it to anyone. Time taken and dosage: 3 months20 1X D Review: Worst medicine on the market.
Major depression, anxiety
by Reviewer32445
on May 17, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 33.0 Side effects: First months - like a zombie. But was better than the depression. It took awhile, (i cant remember how long) but I eventually balanced out: I felt like how I should feel, like a happy, healthy human being again. Side effects that persist throughout the years: excessive sweating, clenching teeth. But these are nothing compared to my crippling depression. It is very important that people keep in mind that these drugs are not cures for depression; they just help you manage it. The real work for me that has helped equally, or even more than the drugs, is therapy. Presently, the Celexa is tapering off in its effectiveness in helping me. So, Im augmenting with a thyroid drug. Time taken and dosage: 10 years60 mg 1X D Review: No sexual side effects. Not a cure, I still struggle with depression and have to work really hard to be okay. Celexa has helped immeasurably, and I credit my doctor for saving my life ten years ago! I switched a few years ago from the brand name to the generic and noticed no difference. I did develop a mild allergy to ibuprofen but that could have also been just aging; further, I get menstrual migraines and cannot take a migraine medication b/c of the Celexa. So, I do tend to suffer once a month with very bad headaches - again, this is nowhere near as bad as my depression. My best lesson in treating depression: keep talking to your doctor, take your medication as prescribed, and always see a therapist. Best of luck to you all.
slight depression, agitation

on May 8, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 34.0 Side effects: I was prescribed 20mgs. The first day of 20mgs I was completely knocked out. I couldnt move off of the couch, not sleepy just unmotivated. Like someone pulled the plug on me. I also was yawning alot and clenching my teeth. I cut the next dose down to 10mgs and it has helped tremendously! Time taken and dosage: 2 weeks10mg 1X D Review: Since I am only 100lbs I thought 20mgs may have been too much for me so I cut it down to 10mgs, since Ive done that Ive seen great improvement in my mood. I am much more relaxed, not overreacting to minor things. I am a mom of a 3 yr old and work full time, I was beginning to feel overwhelmed by every task. Since taking Celexa I feel motivated, focused and not as uptight as I had become. I hope it keeps working because people close to me notice I am more relaxed as well, I feel alot better on this!

Sex: M
Age: 33.0 Side effects: The first 2 weeks were pretty brutal, feeling as though I was in a constant dream-like state with periods of intense anxiety. These feelings gradually tapered down by weeks 5 or 6. Time taken and dosage: 2 months20---40 1X D Review: Dosage was 20mg for 1 month, 30 for next two weeks, then up to 40. Started to feel positive effects around week 4, and probably full effect by week 7. I dont worry as much now, although I still have Xanax for breakthrough anxiety. I have had to use less and less Xanax though, which is great.

on April 22, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 24.0 Side effects: Forgetful. yawning at first, weight loss, decreased sex drive. Time taken and dosage: 3 years20 mg 1X D Review: This drug has helped me so much. My anxiety was becoming unbearable and I could hardly function at times. The most noticeable side effect is my forgetfulness. I forget things easily and feel a little bit spaced out at times. When I first started taking the drug I almost felt like I was high, but that decreased a bit with time. My sex drive is lower, but it hasnt disappeared and also got better with time. I used to have problems with dealing with the idea of my own death and felt scared that I could die at any moment. With this drug Ive been able to sort through my fears and finally deal with those feelings. My life has greatly improved because of this drug and I can function normally. 
Major depression
by Reviewer32450
on April 12, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 24.0 Side effects: Severe rapid weight gain, increased menstrual cramps Time taken and dosage: 6 months40 mg 1X D Review: Im not sure what brand, but my bottle says Citalopram HBR. I took it to treat uncontrollable sobbing fits, inconsistent sleeping patterns, and a loss of love for life. I would say that my doctor diagnosed me incorrectly, because it did not allieviate my symptoms. It did bring back my bubbly personality, but the crying and uneven sleep were still there. As far as the side-effects, let me first point out that I had no idea these could have been from the citalopram until I got off it and they went away. I noticed the same month I started taking it that my usually non-existent menstrual cramps were almost unbearable. Pain pills did not work and I would ask people to sit on my abdomen to try to dispell the pressure. I gained about 70 lbs in the six months I was on it. Thats 11.5 lbs a month! Once I got off the pill, I stopped gaining weight, and after 2 months of being off I lost 8 lbs. I just started taking an NRI instead, and the crying has blessedly stopped.

Anxiety, panic attacks
by Reviewer32453
on March 29, 2010
Sex: M
Age: 34.0 Side effects: At first, I was VERY sleepy. I was yawning all the time, and it was a real problem. So, I started taking it at night, and that helped a lot. You might want to try that if youre excessively sleepy. I also initially had trouble with word recall. I couldnt remember the names of things, and it made me feel stupid. The therapist said this was normal. That eventually went away after about 4 months. The only lasting side effects are the lack of sexual drive and very vivid dreams. I just dont crave sex very much at all. My husband doesnt either since hes on Prozac. We can laugh about it, so I guess thats a good thing. The vivid dreams are kinda fun, so that doesnt bother me. LOL! Time taken and dosage: 7 months20 mg 1X D Review: Overall, Im pretty pleased with this med. It has worked MUCH better for me than Cymbalta. My anxiety has decreased quite a bit, but I dont feel numb. I think my emotions are more in line with reality. I dont get as worked up over nothing.

Anxiety and Rage
by Reviewer32455
on March 22, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 56.0 Side effects: Weight gain, grinding teeth, thirsty, vivid dreams on a fairly regular basis, memory and organizational skills seem to have flown the coop though. Still, thats preferable to wanting to smash my head into a wall 24/7, or to smash someone elses head into a wall. My hubby use to let me use his palms to hit my fist into so I could release some of the pent up anxiety. Time taken and dosage: 3 years30 MG 2X D Review: I dont like the weight gain, but this drug has saved my life, at least for now. I started experiencing rage and severe anxiety while going through menopause and getting sarcoidosis at the same time. I dont know where I would be today without it; probably a mental institution, so yes, Ill take the weight gain over that. My doctor did subscribe 5mg per night of cyclobenzaprine to help with the teeth grinding that kept me awake at night. The combo works great most nights. Once in awhile I have insomnia, whereas before, I couldnt sleep at all. I do miss my organizational skills though.it doesnt work for my job, but thats the way it is.
Depression, Anxiety, Panic Attacks

on March 17, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 20.0 Side effects: Tired, Zombie like feeling, need to sleep a lot, more reasonable about situations, happier Time taken and dosage: 6 months30mg 1X D Review: During my first few weeks of taking Celexa I experienced a variety of side effects. I felt really really happy all of the time with lots of energy and motivation to get out of bed. I no longer felt anxious, but I did feel slightly drugged. Its been 6 months now and I am mostly happy most of the time but I am very tired and some days quite dazed.Although I feel quite motivated on the whole, because of the tiredness I feel that I care less about mess in my surroundings. I have random outbursts of warm affection to anyone and everyone (but that cant be a bad thing) This has definately improved my life a lot, I am generally really happy, and I have returned to rational thought :)
Stress, anxiety
by Reviewer32457
on March 17, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 40.0 Side effects: I was AMAZED when I first took Celexa, because within an hour I said this is the way I should have always felt!. It evened out my moods and helped me not wake up in a cold sweat from anxiety, and made me feel like a better mom and wife. I have twin boys and one has autism and the other has high functioning autism, both of which are particularly challenging on many days, and taking Celexa helped me calm down considerably when the stress levels used to feel like my blood-pressure was going through the ceiling. I am calmer and more relaxed in social situations and I dont have much social anxiety mostly on Celexa. I feel more empathy for others, and feel more loving and snuggly with my husband but my libido is decreased, orgasm is delayed tremendously and not nearly as frequent. Time taken and dosage: 3 months20 mg 1X D Review: The few NEGATIVE things that I have noticed after being on Celexa for a few months though are that the longer I am on it, the more decreased my libido seems to be getting. I also have worse PMS symptoms (from the start really). I seem to be adjusting to the effects of the med to the point in a way that it doesnt seem to be helping as much in some aspects, such as the fact that I am grumpier a lot more than I was, and this could be in part because I am not feeling good sexually! Major bummer as I was doing great on it BUT I am about to switch to something else because of the sexual side effects mostly!

Age: 24.0 Side effects: i have been wondering why i dont seem to want to have sex anymore. its been this way for a while. my husband and i have been together for 3 years and are still as getty over each other as we were then. i want so bad to have that feeling again. we still have sex alot but i cant tell you the last time i have actully got off. im just doing it for him to make him happy when im not enjoying it on bit! i decised today that i was going to try and get off of it again and just see how my wellbutrin works. ummm it kinda scares me in a way, but i cant go the rest of my life not being able to reach the climax. help anyone???

on March 14, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 36.0 Side effects: relaxed but tired, hard to get out of bed, severe memory loss, no sex drive, lack of focus, no drive to do anything anymore, became incapable of being creative, got extreme anxiety in situations which had never been an issue before. Time taken and dosage: 6 weeks20mg 1X D Review: i abused many drugs & alcohol for 21 years. i have been working an a.a. program for over a year now, which has been of tremendous help to keep me sober & get self-esteem back, but after 11 months of continued off & on darkness, i couldnt stand it anymore, & felt my only options were to use or die. i have always been against anti-depressants, but my brain chemistry was obviously off. celexa definitely made the darkness disappear completely, which is incredible. however, it took away my drive to do anything. i could no longer sit thru meetings or do stepwork without extreme anxiety. writing music used to be effortless & is my passion, but now i dont know what sounds good, i dont care, & i cant hold an instrument for more than a minute. this zombie-like state celexa has created is bored depression. ive really tried to stick with it to see if it would balance out, but it seemed to slowly get worse. the last straw was forgetting within 2 hours about a funeral i was supposed to attend. ive NEVER had such severe memory loss. i stopped taking celexa 5 days ago & am trying out wellbutrin. so far my drive has returned & i have energy. i know celexa works great for some people, just not me.

I now am enjoying doing things I used to enjoy: shopping, going out with family /friends, and even cleaning house! I was worried about sexual side effects, but so far have had none. I started on 20MG, but recently increased to 30MG daily, because I felt like it wasnt helping me as much as it had been in the beginning.

on March 11, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 28.0 Side effects: I began taking Celexa first thing in the morning. It gave me great anxiety, a feeling of dizziness, shaky hands, slight nausea, sleeplessness at night with sleepiness during the day, and extreme cotton mouth. I decided to take it at night to see if side effects remained. I had slight sleeplessness at night for about a month afterwards. And more than two years after taking the drug I still have cottonmouth - so I cary breath mints or gum to combat it. The other side effects disappeared after a week of taking it at night. Time taken and dosage: 2.5 years40mg 1X D Review: I still take it at night. I was on it for two years at 20mg/day and it suddenly stopped working. This is often referred to as prozac poop-out. I was prescribed 40mg/day instead. For about two weeks I was unable to sleep. After the initial two weeks my depression went away and Im felt normal again. I can function on this drug. I have normal range of emotions. I anticipate having another prozac poop-out in the future, but for now this drug works, and its saved my life. :)

Age: 34.0 Side effects: Tired and yawning for the first 4 hours of taking this medicine for the first week. After that, I felt GREAT! I was very relaxed and I felt like myself again. I did have very strong cravings for sweets. The only bad side effect was the increased migraines. Time taken and dosage: 4 weeks20 MG 1X D Review: I had to stop taking this drug because of the frequent migraines. I felt like this drug messed with my hormones even though it is not supposed to mess with the absorption of the birth control pill. I had spotting in the first week and major munchies! The increase in appetite stayed with me while taking celexa. However, I loved the drug. I felt better within 2 weeks of taking it. Unfortunately, it triggered migraines. If it wasnt for that I would have kept taking it. I was taking the generic version and it was very cheap with little side effects. I called this my Chill Pill. It was awesome!

Sex: F
Age: 41.0 Side effects: Controls the OCD, but low-level depression creeps through. Weight gain, absolute lack of libido. Time taken and dosage: 5 years160mg 1X D Review: After trying several of the more garden variety SSRIs (Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac), this was one of the two drugs that actually works for me, but I am concerned that I am taking far too high a dosage. My Rx is of the everyone is different and lab trial levels dont go high enough with some patients philosophy. He does not seem concerned with the drug long-terms effects on my overall health. (I am also ramping down from 4 mg of Xanax and am now taking 2 1/2 mg.) I was taking a lower dose of Lexapro, but my insurance no longer covers it. The only other drug that worked for me was Anafranil, which I tried about 15 years ago, but even though it worked like a godsend, my body could not tolerate the rapid heartbeat side effect. My main question is, is anyone else out there on this high dosage, and is there a possible alternative?

If you cant metabolize this drug understand it can take years to recover from taking one pill and its an excruciating process. I WANT IT OFF THE MARKET. And it is not a substitute for Paxil, it causes the same withdrawal issues. Try acupuncture instead! Time taken and dosage: 2 years Review: Can cause permanent brain damage like chronic akathisia and in rare instances tardive dyskinesia. Trust me your depression has nothing on these conditions.

Sex: M
Age: 24.0 Side effects: Very few side effects. Some teeth grinding, and occasional sleepiness. No sexual side effects, not negative ones anyway. I actually think it might help as far as that goes. Time taken and dosage: 3 months Review: Great stuff, at least for me anyway. The only anti-depressant I ever took that did anything. I take 60mg once a day. Helped my depression a lot. Also totally cured my social anxiety. Much easier to deal with the ordinary problems of life. Too bad I didnt start taking this years ago.

Age: 25.0 Side effects: teeth clenching, tiredness, migraines for the first few weeks, some insomnia Time taken and dosage: 5 days Review: Took generic for about six weeks, except for the headaches and teeth clenching, it was great. Stopped but then started back 5 days ago due to inability to deal with my obsession of perfection, order and cleanliness, which lead to my anxiety.

Sex: F
Age: 44.0 Side effects: a slightly stoned feeling and a little yawning. Time taken and dosage: 2 days Review: I switched to Celexa because I gained weight on Effexor and Wellbutrin made me really nervous. My doctor said that every SSRI compound is slightly different, so I might not gain weight on Celexa even though I did on Effexor. I am praying I wont gain weight, but will be watching for carb cravings. SO far I think it makes me a little more relaxed. I was able to go to the store and prepare dinner without feeling anxious or restless.

Sex: F
Age: 41.0 Side effects: Initial first two days I was ok, but felt a little hyper with some teeth Grinding. Then I became agitated followed by severe anxiety, an overload of adrenalin, change in sleep, and an eventual seratonin storm that had to be broken chemically. It was not fun at all, I thought I was headed down the path to a flip. Time taken and dosage: 7 days Review: I am not sure this is a drug for those with bi-polar depression

Sex: F
Age: 31.0 Side effects: None. Time taken and dosage: 10 years Review: I take 20 mg 3 times a WEEK.and it seems to do the trick. I use to take it daily for years and years, but managed to get myself to a point where I wasnt so dependent on it. It is great for anxiety and depression, and has helped so much with my migraines. If I dont take it at all--my brain feels a little wonkey and my heart-rate shoots up.ths drug seems to keep things in order for me. :-) Love it!
anxiety, panic attacks

on January 4, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 47.0 Side effects: Very thirsty in the morning, LOST 10+ lbs (I was already thin), have less get-up-and-go, completely unexpected feelings of greater compassion and warmth toward others, much improved marriage relationship. My previously ulta-organized desk, closets, kitchen are now messy. Time taken and dosage: 18 months Review: I have been taking this drug for 1.5 years and have had excellent results. I currently take a very high dose -- 60mg -- which I will be gradually reducing to 40m in the months ahead. Its difficult to explain the positive changes in my life since starting the drug. I was having panic attacks that were interfering with work and I had gotten to the point where I would freak out in a department store if I couldnt see the exit, I was fearful of crowds, over-heated rooms, elevators, locked doors. All of these problems resolved (no therapy). I have to wonder though whether I will be able to eventually drop the drug and retain all these benefits, including a newfound all pervasive patience that makes it possible to now smooch on the sofa with my husband of 24 years. The old me who would spring out of bed before dark each morning to go for a run is gone, but the new me is pretty darn okay with things.

anxiety, depression
by Reviewer32484
on December 22, 2009
Sex: F
Age: 28.0 Side effects: the most noticeable was incredibly vivid dreams. i also felt like i was literally watching/feeling the drug untangle my emotions/etc. i didnt notice any sexual side effects, and i actually lost some weight bc it was harder to eat on the drug- food was not so appealing and my sense of taste seemed slightly altered. it wasnt much weight at all, and im a pretty light eater in the first place. Time taken and dosage: 1 years Review: i started at the lowest recommended dose and started to feel better immediately. unfortunately i started therapy while taking this drug, and my therapist turned abusive, and i became ashamed, and long story short i stopped taking it and seeing *any* doc for about 6 mos. until i could face it. over that time i had slowly been increased on the dose by my pcp bc the results were so encouraging. i think the higher dose was a mistake, or it could have just been the circumstance, but eventually i just numbed out and so i stopped taking it. |
