> You all have me very curious now. I have just recently started Celexa (4 days now) and already feel much better than before. I didn't even realize I was "depressed" until now. I had problems ever waking up in the morning. I was concerned about being late for work too often, so I went to my doctor. After several tests, he started me on Celexa. He claimed it had less side effects than any alternatives.
>Hey Brian. I have been on Celexa for about 2months now. Some of the side effects included jitteriness, slight palpitations and nervousness. I do feel that the efficacy of the drug is worth the initial side effects. I am on 20mgs per day. I take half in the AM and half in the PM. This got rid of the side effects. I don't have the anxiety or panic attacks, and things that used to bother me don't now. You will notice a demonstrable effect on libido; however, this latest for about 3 weeks and disappeared. My drive is back with a vengeance. Good luck. The alternatives such as MAO inhibitors and tricyclics don't appeal to me.
> I am surprised to hear your ill fortunes. From what I gathered from this discussion, Celexa causes sexual dysfunction and headaches. What other "goodies" await?
