Hello :]
I've been on celexa since the begining of the year, they work wonderfully and i no longer have any side effects!. -When i first started them i had some crazyass dreams and my sex drive was way down!. My doctor said that was really common though, and i was back to normal in a couple months!.
I have lost some weight since i've been on them but i never thought about it being from the meds!. Ether way I'm not complaining!.
Best of luck to you?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Antidepressants increased the risk compared to placebo of suicidal thinking and behavior (suicidality) in children, adolescents, and young adults in short-term studies of major depressive disorder (MDD) and other psychiatric disorders!. Anyone considering the use of Celexa or any other antidepressant in a child, adolescent, or young adult must balance this risk with the clinical need!. Short-term studies did not show an increase in the risk of suicidality with antidepressants compared to placebo in adults beyond age 24; there was a reduction in risk with antidepressants compared to placebo in adults aged 65 and older!. Depression and certain other psychiatric disorders are themselves associated with increases in the risk of suicide!. Patients of all ages who are started on antidepressant therapy should be monitored appropriately and observed closely for clinical worsening, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior!. Families and caregivers should be advised of the need for close observation and communication with the prescriber!. Celexa is not approved for use in pediatric patients!.

Hiya,

I have never tried Celexa but I know some of the side effects are; Nausea, dry mouth, trouble sleeping, loss of appetite, weakness, tiredness, drowsiness, dizziness, increased sweating, blurred vision, or yawning may occur!. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor promptly!.
