My experience was always that this side effect went away after a fairly brief period, and while WB has not done as much for me as I might like, I've had fewer side effects with this drug than with any other I've taken.

> Harry, there are several SSRI's and other medications (Anafranil, Effexor-XR) which are helpful with rumination as well as Celexa. Have you tried these? (I have OCD and have been fighting a battle with rumination and compulsive rituals since I was a kid.)
