Re: Re: Celexa- First day didn't sleep

Kavita -

Do you mean that you might have given it in the evening by mistake?  You are

supposed to give it in the morning time. (Atleast according to Dr. G.)  We were

told to give it a good 10 - 14 days for adjusting to the SSRI's.  This

includes

sleep adjustments as well.  We just started Celexa this morning.

 

HTH,

Velma

I think that might be the reason- I might have given it in morning time.

Thanks.
