In reply to celexa or paxil, posted by Amie Brown on October 20, 2000, at 19:42:55
Hi Annie:
I was on Paxil for over a year and although it worked really well initially for my depression and anxiety, it eventually pooped out on me. I did gain a lot of weight on it.Have you considered Prozac? It seems to be the most energetic SSRI and has the least side- effects, so I've been told by numerous Doctors and from reading the posts.
I've never tried Celexa so I don't know what to tell you about that particular drug.This was just my personal experience w/ Paxil. And each person reacts so differently that it is hard to predict what their response will be to one particular medication. The other thing I have noticed with Prozac is that I do not suffer greatly from PMS. I do not know if there is a link but it seems that the Paxil made my PMS symptoms a lot worse.
Just a few thoughts from me.
Hope this helps.
