In reply to my experience with celexa, posted by Francesco on June 24, 2003, at 14:41:37
Hi Francesco,You say that you're mood and anxiety levels are fine. Could you talk to your doc about reducing the dose to, say, 30mg? 40mg may be too high a dose depending on your metabolism, body size etc.
I take 20mg a day and suffered from the grogginess and tiredness for the first week or so. That situation gradually improved over a period of 6 weeks. (I also experienced some foot-tapping, which disappeared after about 2 months.)
Everybody responds to drugs differently, so you may need to hang in there a little longer until you figure out what is best for your body. Taking your dose at night will also help, as suggested by the other posters.
I find Celexa to be very gentle and effective. Hopefully it will help you too.
All the best,
Alara
