I have been on Celexa for over 3 weeks. If anything my memory has improved. My concentration is wonderful now also. ( I was having trouble even reading a paper) Sexual side effects have been minimal. A little trouble finishing but thats not so bad. A least I now want to have sex!!! Taking 40 mg. per day in the morning. Sleep is getting better also. Slept till 10:30 Sat. morning. Have been able to do that in years. ( and not feel guilty!!) Give the med a try. I read some of these stories too and was very uneasy about starting. This is the best thing I have done in a long time. I haven't felt this good in years!!!

> It is great reading everyone's comments on Celexa. I am considering going on it to lessen some of the pain. I have never been on an antidepressent or an SSRI before and I am a bit nervous. I was wondering about side effects...the memory loss thing is freaking me out, not to mention the decreased sexual desire. Does this all stabilize over the first few weeks/months? Does your memory come up to 100% or at least where it was? It would be great to get some feedback and any other general info as well. I suffer from a very mild depressive state (often non existent) however, occaisionally it dips and it becomes quite difficult to manage. My psychiatrist suggested this new SSRI and I am considering it.
