I just want to add a tad of mine.
Paxil is the most potent SSRI. Celexa, the most selective SSRI. If you were taking 40 mg of Paxil then chance you need 60 or even 80 mg of Celexa to get the same effect.
At this dosage, almost everybody gets the infamous sexual side effects and the dreaded tiredness.
If you want to get rid of these side effects, you then begin the infinit loop of the medecine add-on. Before falling in this loop, i would suggest you take a lower dose of Celexa and add a tiny dose of benzo (klonopin, xanax). That might works quickly and fairly.
Good luck.
