celexa

I have been on lexapro for several months then I switched to celexa because my insurance didn't cover lexapro. I feel even better on celexa. But recently I am starting to feel "down". My current dose is 40 mg and am thinking to go to 60 but I hear 60 mg will not work any better than 40 mg.

I've been on 30 mg it's gave me no help...

Iv been on 20m for about 3 weeks now it has helped me I use to be depressed and stressed and would constintly bitch couse i couldnt take it , .but since I got on this pill it honestly just kinda mellows me out..... I'm not so freeked out, the only side effect for me is it mellows me out so much I'm more tired then anything, it just alters my mood in a good way though. It really is helping me..... If only I could get my bf on it lol

I have taken many anti-depression and pain meds. I am currently taking 120mg of celexa and 300 mg of tramadop. My pharmacist says I am at great risk of seritonin syndrome but my psychiatrist says it is o.k. Any thoughts out there?

I have been on Celexa for 3 1/2 weeks. The first week I couldn't keep my eyes open, but by the second week that had disappeared and I had more energy. Now I have lost 13 lbs. and have diarrhea every time I eat, within an hour after eating. Will this continue or go away?

Well i have been on this for 3 mths, my grandson died at 3 mths old, lost it totally, i do not even get out of bed any more. im 43 so this isint going good for my family, they dont understand why im in bed so much. i take 20mg at night, so the other day i was confused and took another 20mg in the morning, i think i felt better that day. no im sure i did. i dont know if i need that much, will it help me get out of bed? kinda maybe get my life back? i dont know what to do at this point. before the celexa i was on zoloft, it didnt make me better i was still in bed, it did give me huge pimples all over my forehead. i knew right away it was from that cause i have never had a prob with pimples. i really want to get well, im always tierd and i never leave the house anymore. do you think i even on the right track, do i need something more? please help
