Dear Cam, thanks for your advice and I amsorry for not responding sooner. i am still having problems with celexa and sleep. problem is that i like the celexa, but the sleep problem is really bad. i take it before noon now and it still hasn't helped. therapist thinks i should stop takingit becasue of the sleep prob. I have only been on it for 1 month and wonder if this will subside as a side effect or does it have permanence. what is your experience?? thanks,jacquie

> Jacquie and Liz - Just a thought. It may not pan out, but may be worth a try. Perhaps you are metabolizing the Celexa a little faster than the rest of us (about 5% of those of European descent may) and the drug is wearing off by 2 a.m. You could try taking you dose at noon, to see if this helps. I have heard of Celexa sleep problems and have normally equated them to be similar to those of Paxil and Luvox. Like I said, this is a shot in the dark, but us an easy experiment. Try it for a couple of days and see if there are any changes in sleep patterns. Let me know the results. Good luck - Cam W.
