Celexa

I recently took Celexa upon advice of my doctor for my terrible sadness over the loss of my beloved sister. The drug served the purpose of helping me through those first few awful months of grief.

I voluntarily discontinued after 10 weeks, when I felt strong enough to cope on my own. This was my first experience with an antidepressant drug.

I want to say that I feel they can be very useful when needed and in some cases are necessary when you just can’t get through another day by yourself. But they should not be overused, and the goal should be to use them for a short term until you get your strength back. Some of us just need the help, that’s all.

I look forward to exploring this web site and reaping the benefits of it’s knowledge, as I continue my journey through life “on my own”….

thanks for reading my comments!

Using Celexa

I’m a 49 year old female and needed something to help my anxiety and depression. My Doctor prescribed Celexa. Let me just say, BEWARE.

This is a terrible drug. I stuck with it for 2 months. Not only did it NOT help, but it gave me side effects to deal with. The worst was the extreme fatigue. No matter how much sleep I’d get, I’d have to drag myself out of bed. Missed many appointments because of this stuff.

Not only did it drain me physically, but mentally it made it difficult to perform my job at work. I had trouble focusing and concentrating on easy tasks. I stopped taking it before work and took it at bedtime. I didn’t feel quite so “loopy” but it still caused tremendous fatigue.

Not only did it not help the anxiety and depression but also caused nightmares. Truly awful stuff.
