> TomHi, Tom,
I had the same problem myself when I first started taking the Celexa. I just couldn't stay awake. After reading the postings here, I realized that everyone else seemed to be having the opposite problem. After talking to my doc, he cut my dose down. The sleepiness went away! My experience with the Celexa is to start in small doses, and work up slowly. I hope this helps! Good luck!
