I was on Celexa and immediately started againing weight. About 1-2 ponds a week. After 6 weeks,b ecause of that and induced extremetired ness (I was ending up in bed 14-16 hours a day--and I am a high energy person--normally work out in gym 5 days a week) and no sex drive, I quit. The positive benefits, psychologically, were great. But not worth the side effects. Everytime I went back on , even in the minutest of doses (like 1 mg or half of that) the negative side effects would come back with a vengeance. There was a thread earlier last winter with a fair number of people reporting the same effects as me. Some people just can't take SSRI's which is too bad because they are very effective for their positive benefits.
