Hi-
I started taking Celexa about a month ago. (Just to let you all know, I'm an atheist as well, but I really don't think that has anything to do with the medication!?!?!?!!!) Anyway...I was on EFFEXOR before that for 4 years. Somehow I don't think that should ever have happened. Oh well, it's all trial and error. I think that the effexor was AMAZING at first, but then after a while, it stopped working, and I continued taking it for too long while it wasn't working, hoping that it would somehow start working again!?!?! (DOH!!!!)Celexa has not helped me much so far. I haven't gained any weight, which is good. The dry mouth is less than Effexor. I do feel incredibly TIRED all of the time though. I exercise frequently, but that doesn't help. One other thing about Celexa compared to effexor, is that I used to be able to go out and have a beer or two with friends. Now I don't think I should. It seems like the alcohol has a much stronger effect, and I don't like that.
I'm considering changing to Wellbutrin (sp??), but don't know if I should. Does anyone have any more information about that one???? AUGH, i wish that one would work, and I could just STAY on that one.
After all of this, I forgot to mention my mood on Celexa. Well, it hasn't helped much. No where near as effective as Effexor was for the first year or so....
