Simcha - Yeah, I know I was overgenralizing, again. I know quite a few people who have been helped by Celexa, but I know more who haven't. Some day we will be able to do genetic phenotyping to taylor drugs to our specific make-ups. That will be cool.

I was on it for a good 5 months so I had a more than adequate trial with it. The side effects for me were depressing and it was difficult not having help with the OCD or anxiety. So Effexor is not the "majic bullet" for everyone, O wise one. ;-)
