Prozac was the first AD that I was on. We gave it two months and didn't see any improvements so we moved on to Zoloft, which worked nicely for a couple of years (though did seem to be a bit manic towards the latter part). Remeron/Depakote was a nightmare. No relief, only an extra 50 lbs in six months. I will have to talk with the pdoc some more as to why he is specifically suggesting Celexa. Perhaps since Prozac didn't seem to help before. At least I know that my pdoc won't push anything on me that I am not comfortable with. For that I am thankful. Trying new/different meds is such a crap shoot and for the ones that take weeks to kick in, those weeks are very difficult. I have a very public job (city hall!) and don't need to be freaking out on the job. The boss knows I take ADs, but has no idea of the extent of it. (She's a nosey, busy-body, gossip monger so I don't tell her anything I don't want the entire building to know). Since I have only been there for a little over three years, noone there has ever experienced "me" off meds...what a treat for all.

Thanks for the replies!
