> I've been taking Celexa since it was first released. I am unable to tolerate any of the other antidepressants at a theraputic level for a variety of unwanted side effects. I have read that 75% of people treated in Europe are on 20 mg daily. I take 20 mg at bedtime and I have not noticed any side effects. In the past, I used sex as a stress reducer for my depression. I felt like I had to have it. With Celexa I don't feel that way. I can go for days without it and not start a major argument by making it a priority. I have sex about 4x a week and I experience NO side effects. I am on a drug cocktail...I don't want to take up a whole page here, but if anyone would like to ask me any further questions, please feel free to email. I am a very open person and I don't think anything you would ask me would offend me
HiIs anyone taking celexa for PMS? I realize I have probably been self medicating (with pot--very little and alcohol--about 2-3 glasses wine every night) and maybe mildly depressed but when that time of the month comes around I just turn mean and don't like myself very much. It was one thing when I was single. Another thing to subject my husband. But now I have two small children and I just don't want to subject them to it anymore. Mommy just cant disappear for a few days until she is nice enough to be around. So is anyone else on Celexa for this? I am on 1/2 a 20mg pill and have been for a few days. My husband is skeptical about this . Wants to know why I don't try alterenative (natural). I have. I have noticed that I don't desire a drink with dinner and I have taken this as a good sign. I also enjoy that it has decreased my appetite. Antoher good thing. I am going to wait another week before I up the dosage to 20mg. as the doctor suggested. Thanks in adavance for any coments or suggestions
Steph
