Peter--
SSRIs definitely differ in their effects upon me. I hear about people switching SSRIs, and I can't believe that some people do it so easily.
prozac gave me insomnia and horrible anxiety, too (it felt like a constant adrenaline rush); only stayed on it for 2 weeks. zoloft helped the depression but left me dizzy and zonked. celexa seems to be doing the right thing for me (I think...I hope...). It causes insomnia if I don't take anything to counteract that. I have a friend who had a similar (perhaps stronger) reaction to prozac. he ended up on paxil, which he found helpful but somewhat sedating.
maybe if we had similar reactions to prozac, we'll have similar ones to celexa; how long have you been on it? it took a couple weeks before I started feeling better. good luck!
