On the advice of my doctor, I switched back to Serzone today; the medication I was on previously, and I feel much better. The side effects from the Celexa were horrible. I'd wake in the early morning anxious and very nervous, had diarrhea for 2 weeks, and just didn't feel normal. I've been on the Serzone before but had a lot of stress back in Jan & Feb and my depression came back. I think the doctor should have increased my Serzone instead of changing it to Celexa. Also, there is no sexual dysfunction with Serzone. Anyway, I'll continue to check the board and hope to learn from you all. I sure did with the Celexa. Thank you.
> Sometimes I think that my heart is racing, especially at night when I am trying to sleep. It is almost as though I can hear my heart beat through my entire body. I think I am experiencing anxiety attacks now that I am on Celexa. I am being treated for depression not anxiety. I hate taking medication.
