In reply to Celexa Side Effects, posted by Lisa on March 18, 1999, at 12:11:37
I have no experience with Celexa but I need to respond to Steve. Steve, there are medications (and combinations of) that have irritability as a side effect. I, certainly, am not free from irritability or anger, but I was on a medication for a short time that really had me on edge and overreacting. As soon as I went off it, I could tell the difference. I would like to give Lisa the credit to tell whether she is angry/irritable because of a situation versus unusual or extreme feelings after starting a new medication. Particularly since she has made special note of it here.
Again, I have not been on Celexa so, sorry Lisa, I can't comment on side effects. I am rarely on antidepressants (it is an AD?) since they don't help for very long (I am a variant of bipolar), but from all the threads at this site, I assume it is the "new Prozac". I hope it helps all those (including Lisa) who seem to be on it.
