> I have been on celexa about three weeks now. At first I had terrible chest pains and I felt really out of it, I also had stomach pains and dirreaha. I started at 10mgs and am now at 20mgs. I really don't feel any different. The depression is still there. You know,the bleakness.

> > I starte Celexa @ 3 weeks ago mostly for social phobia but also for low level depression. The side effects started right away. I was nauseous, drowsy, had a hard time getting to sleep, and was yawning constantly, among other things. Most of the effects are now gone, with the exception of the yawning & trouble sleeping. Actually, I am not feeling too much of anything and, honestly, i'm starting to get a little impatient. I've heard that it takes at anywhere from 2-5 weeks to kick in so I'm trying to be patient. I'm also a little apprehensive about it's effectiveness in treating social phobia, I've heard mixed reports. Anyone have any input?
>> I'm supposed to start taking celexa tonite for the first time. Now I'm not sure if I want to. Some of the things I see here I'm already doing. But most of my depression now is from my niece's cancer. But I was alittle depressed before. Now I don't want to go to work or anything. An I cry alot. Prozac worked for me but I clenched my teeth alot. Just not sure if I want to try this or not.
