> Celexa worked great when it worked. It worked fast. It just didn't work long.

> When I went up to 60mg, it was totally fine, but I had some side effects. The most noticeable one was that I was ALWAYS hungry. Gawd I ate and ate and ate... and it was sugar and fatty foods, simple carbs. So, obviously I gained weight. It sucks, I'm back at my Paxil weight. I always got really anxious in the afternoons. Mornings and evenings I was fine. I also noticed that at 60mg it was hard to have an orgasm. I could, but it was a lot of work, more so than when I was on 40mg.

Also i dont remeber ssris to well,but is it possable with your docs supervision "of course" to titrate between the two doses as needed?
I ask this because its a shame to leave a drug that works when it seems so difficult latly to discover one.Either way,read your blogs,congrats on the news coverage!
