I intend to experiment with taking it at different times and strengths to see the difference, although if I do get the Viibryd on Friday, I intend to switch to that. Of course, it might cause the same effects, since the effect occurs in the tongue, not the brain apparently, and Viibryd is an SSRI.
For tasting experiments I bought some ultra-dark chocolate (which I cannot stand) so I can try little pieces of it throughout the day to see how its bitterness is affected as the time increases from my last celexa dose. I have never liked bitter foods (coffee, dark chocolate, grapefruit, etc.) but there is no doubt the celexa has made this much worse, on a varying daily basis. Liking a beer one night and finding it horribly bitter the next has been a very strange experience.
