I am very sensitive to SSRi side effects so my Dr began me on 10 mgs, I did well so I was increased to 20 mgs after a week. Almost as soon as I increased the dosage, I began to make slow but steady progress until now I feeel like the poster boy for Celexa.It took about 7 weeks to feel the full effect. When I start to feel sedated now, I cut my dosage back to 10 mgs for a day or two and it has seemed to work for me. As far as the weight gain went, I stopped craving carbohydrates(when I am depressed I really really really crave them)and that was my biggest change as far as my diet went.
