Anyone else on Celexa?

Hey, hi. My hubby was on celexa for like twelve years (most of which I wasn’t around for). But celexa has its downsides. Lowered sex drive, almost to non-existent, feeling muddled- bad memory- like you are in a brain fog. Bring up the side effects to the doctor. There are so many drug options they literally just go down a list until something works for you. My hubby didn’t need the anti depressant, just the anti anxiety- so we got switched to something without SSRI stuff. Another med might fit you better. Don’t give up. Keep notes on how you feel and bring someone close with you to help explain how it’s effecting your life.

sometimes you have to try different medications and dosages before you find one that works for you

Most anti-depressants take about 4-6 weeks to be fully effective. How long have you been taking?

Drug book says to allow 4 weeks for symptoms to improve.

It takes 3-4 weeks to start working. This brand may not work for you. You need to consult your doctor and Celexa is not something you can just stop.

Can take a few months to kick in. Or, you need to try another medication. Best to check with your doctor.

Is that some sort of laxative?

How long have you been on it?
