> > My doctor recently prescribed me celexa for depression and I am petrified to start taking it (I';ve had it for about three weeds now and have been trying to talk myself into starting it). I have never taken an antidepressant before and had been feeling like my moodiness was just a part of who I was now and that I had lost touch with "how to feel happy". My moods go up and down, but for the last couple of years my down periods have been far outweighing my ups. I am afraid of the side effects since sleepiness has been one of my problems and I have children to keep up with. If anyone could give me feedback with any of their experiences with celexa it would be greatly appreciated!

I agree, go a head and try it. I did. It wasnt that bad, mentally it made me
feel pretty good, I wish I could have stayed on it
but it messed my skin in some places. That cleared up as
soon as I stopped taking it. Give it a shot and my advise
is, if you have a bad side effect from it and cant
get in touch with your doc, just stop taking it and then
talk with you doc. I dont think its a problem to
just stop taking an AD if you having allegic reactions
to it. Thats my advise, Give it a shot, if you hate
what it does to you, quit it.
Sincerely
dave
