Generic celexa (citalopram)..weight gain or loss?!


Question: So I was prescribed the generic celexa (it was cheaper). also called citalopram.
does anyone know if it makes you gain weight? or possibly lose? I am struggling with depression and anxiety, but I need to know this. I previously struggled with an eating disorder (I am really well recovered, I am just struggling with thoughts), and of course, weight gain is a huge concern of mine.
I'm not more concerned with that than my mental well being, I just really need to know if it does so I know whether to switch to a different med.

so does it make you gain weight?
please help, thank youuu! (:

I've been on it for a while and haven't gained any weight, But haven't lost any either. I think it depends on the individual and definitely on their eating and exercise habits.
Try it, and if it seems to cause weight gain, talk to your dr about something else.

Go to GOOGLE, type in WEBMD
In the search box type in Celexa

You can get all the answers you need! = )

Its for dpression not for gain weight or loss

I am currently taking citalopram, and I can most defiantly say it has nothing to do with weight loss or gain. It is solely for treating anxiety and depression. The only way I could see it effect your weight is if you eat to relive your stress. Then by using citalopram to reduce your stress you wouldn't feel the need to eat for this reason.
