In reply to Celexa side effects, posted by bankerchic on February 13, 2002, at 18:49:48
I do a lot of reading on this stuff and I have not heard of the lawsuits. Considering the large number of people who take the drug, there are bound to be some lawsuits. But it's generally considered to be a very very safe drug. I have been on Celexa for about 2 and a half years and doing very well on it. I used to have severe anxiety and depression. I started on 20 mg and eventually went up to 30, then to 40. Forty is the dose most people take.
When I first started on Celexa, I felt tired for the first couple of months. Then it mostly, but not completely, went away.
A few months from now (Spring 2002) a new and improved version of Celexa will be available. It is called Lexapro. It is made by the same drug company as Celexa. In clinical trials, people had less day time tiredness and less sexual side effects with Lexapro than with Celexa.
Hope this helps.
> I have just started Celexa after being on a couple of different medications. I had heard that they have alot of lawsuits against them...Has anyone heard this???Please let me know this is making me wonder if I should even be on this..Thanks
