Hi Tawny- I have been on 40 mg. Celexa a day for over 3 years now.

Best anti-depresant I have ever been on. No side effects that I

notice (no weight gain, no sleepyness, no agitation, etc). I have

tried nearly every antidepressant over the past 20 years and this is

the first one that I have tolerated! Good luck!

, That is great news to hear! I was worried about weight

gain so that is a plus. I haven't slept much in the last month, the

Zoloft is keeping me up. So, hope I will get back to normal. Thanks

so much, and I hope it works for me too, Tawny

Are you taking it in the morning, or at night? It is actually not uncommon

for these meds to cause sleeping difficulties, part of their action is a sort

of stimulant to your brain! Which I'm gonna need in the am at 0445, when I

have to get up for my 13 hour workday! I CANNOT sleep tonight! ugh

BTW, I'm envious of your pool! Cary

Hi Tawny,

Been working like a dawg so I haven't been on and stopped in my

tracks when I saw your name and Celexa. I am not on it any more,

but was for about a year. It SAVED MY LIFE! I was in really bad

shape and what I loved was how fast it worked. I was in a ball on

the floor - literally - never been so depressed - ever in my life

and it worked so fast. The only drawback I found was that it made

me incredibly sleepy - my boss used to poke me in meetings!

Hope you are doing ok - will write on the side...

Hi , It sounds like Celexa is a good med, I'm hoping it works

well for me. I was on Zoloft for a little over a month, hardly any

sleep. So, this is my second day on the Celexa, no sleep! Isn't

that crazy? I'm going to call the doc tomorrow, see if they can't

give me something to sleep. I feel bad, like I have the flu, lack of

sleep, I lay down, and I'm wide awake. I just can't go on another

month like this. Try not to work so hard, you need a break once in

awhile:) Take care, Tawny

Hi Cary,I'm taking the med in the morning. I don't get sleepy all

day, and stay up until wee hours in the morning. This went on with

the Zoloft also. I sleep about 4-5 hours now.

I went to bed, and back up again, it's ridiculous!

I got in the pool yesterday, and I believe I over did it a little, so

I need to relax in it. I hope you get some sleep soon, a long day

tomorrow for you, hugs Tawny
