> > My doctor recently prescribed me celexa for depression and I am petrified to start taking it (I';ve had it for about three weeds now and have been trying to talk myself into starting it). I have never taken an antidepressant before and had been feeling like my moodiness was just a part of who I was now and that I had lost touch with "how to feel happy". My moods go up and down, but for the last couple of years my down periods have been far outweighing my ups. I am afraid of the side effects since sleepiness has been one of my problems and I have children to keep up with. If anyone could give me feedback with any of their experiences with celexa it would be greatly appreciated!
