My depression and anxiety have improved dramatically. If there is any side effect that would make me stop taking Celexa, its the constipation. So far, no weight gain. I won't tolerate that either. I've had some forgetfulness, but not too bad.

> RE:Constipation- this is real common and it can be treated. For me,I took magnesium and calcium supp. plus psyillium seed and mucho water. No problem Also noticed more bloating with excess sugar in diet. Stay off soda pop and anything with nutra sweet. Hope this helps.What exactly can rememdy the constipation? It has really been a problem. I take a cleansing type natural herb, but on 40MG of celexa I need more. Will calcium and Mag. work?
