> > > I'm curious to know what side effects go along with the antidepressant drug, celexa. I recently went to the doctor in reference to a weight problem. I am 2 pounds below state regulations for phentermine. He explained to me that when I take care of my anxiety and depression, that my weight problem would take care of itself. I've searched the web for these side effects, but I only find dry mouth, nausea and sleepiness. I'm definitely sleepy and have nausea. I don't think I can work and take this drug.

Just started celexa, after beeing on max doseage of serzone for about ten months. I have not noticed any adverse side effects, as of yet. Would be interested in learning from others who have tried this drug. I understand it is quite new and has just been approved for us in the US a couple of months ago. I would be interested in finding someone in one of the European countries who has had experiences with celexa. Your patience and attention would be greatly appreciated. paul
> This is the second posting about the third day on celexa, have experience head aches for the past two day, but am clear headed today. I do not know if coming down from serzone and coming up on celexa is causing the lack of enthusiam about any, but that is the way i have felt for the past couple of days.After 7 days of celexa, I no longer have head aches, I getting a little bored with myself. I guess i am coming out of this depression. Things are not better, but i can deal with them now. I just have to do one thing at a time. I hope improvement continues into the next week. It takes two weeks for the full effect to take hold. I am still hoping this drug will be the one that gets me over the hill. Not to much to ask for a guy who has been searching for over 5 years.
