> I have been on Celexa for about 3 months. I love the way it has even my temperment and reduced my anxiety and depression, however I am not pleased with the amount of weight I have gained as result of this durg. My desire for food has not increased or changed and my eating patterns are the same as pre-medication-but I have gained at least 10 to 15lbs. that I can not seem to get ride of-no amount of diet or exercise has seemed to help-please someone advise I'm desperate-I have recently started taking Metabolife to help in my quest to loose this weight, but I was told that I should proablly not mix the two-What's a girl to do?

I have been on Celexa for 1 month (10mgs)and have actually lost 8 pounds...
The first 3 weeks were agony... I had the worst anxiety
and insomnia... I found that I can not drink more than 2 glasses of
wine with Celexa or get insomnia and generally
do not feel as well... I think that added to the
weight loss... for years I self medicated with caffeine
in the morning (great for the mood, but bad for the
anxiety and agoraphobia), and wine at night...With Celexa I have cut out
the caffeine all together (get the up that I use to get
without the anxiety) and do not drink more than 2 glasses
of wine with dinner... The only problem is
some insomnia now and then... has anyone tried taking
Tylenol PM for that??? Also I tried to up my dose
to 15mgs last week and had such severe anxiety off and
on for 24 hours that I went back down to 10mgs... anyone
out there done well on 10mgs... I feel good, minor
anxiety but CALM... I LOVE that calmness... that is what made me
stick out the side effects in the first place...
Any thoughts on the above comments would be appreciated
now
