I've been on 40 mg Celexa for 2 and 1/2 years with very good results on both anxiety and depression. The tiredness side effects are greatly helped by Ginkgo Biloba (120 mg twice a day for 240 mg total). The sexual side effects are greatly helped by 10 mg Yohimbine taken 1 or 2 hours before sex. If you prefer to take it every day, the dose is 5 mg per day. The side effects are generally very mild but Ginkgo can be bad if you have bleeding problems and Yohimbine might increase blood pressure in some people.
Keep in mind that a new version of Celexa (called Lexapro in the US) will be on the market around the end of August. This version caused less fatigue than Celexa in clinical trials.
