I took 20 mg. Celexa per day for six weeks, then 40 mg. for two months. It didn't perform any magic on its own, although it did take the edge off my depression. Only when combined with a short half-life tranquilizer (Clonazepam), Adderall, and especially Wellbutrin did I feel much better. I'm a 32 year old guy, and I weigh about 180 lbs.
I've taken dry mouth in the morning for granted (very small price to pay), but sexually there has been some frustration. Sex with my wife is regular (3 or 4 times a week), erection not a problem, but finishing up happens only once per month. My wife loves it of course, and again, it is a small price to pay for not being suicidally depressed.
I really recommend Celexa, and you have to be patient (two months at the very least).
