I took Zoloft for at least 5 years. It was good for my mood but I lost all sexual feelings. Since I was feeling good, I tried to go cold turkey a couple of months ago. I crashed and burned at the end of January with terrible anxiety. The doctor put me on Celexa and Xanax (short term) for the anxiety. I feel better now, the anxiety is gone, but the Celexa made me terribly constipated and gave me a dry mouth and my sexual feelings are gone again. Maybe I should have given it a longer period but I've decided to go back to Zoloft.
Zoloft also, probably, caused me to gain a lot of weight. The doctor said Celexa should not do that.
Do you think I should have stuck it out longer with Celexa? I was becoming obcessed with being constipated. My kitchen is full of bran, prunes, prune juice, etc., etc. Ridiculous.
