In reply to Celexa not working, any suggestions please ?, posted by janejj on May 3, 2003, at 22:33:16
For what it's worth, I've been on Celexa a few months myself (although I was back and forth between that and EffexorXR, the latter did not work) so it took awhile for me to realize that 30mg/day of Celexa is working (KNOCK ON WOOD!)
As I see it you have several choices with the SSRI's before giving them up: talk to your pdoc first of course!
you could increase the Celexa dose
you could try Prozac, although I keep hearing that the second time using a the same SSRI it does not work
there are other SSRI's to try - Paxil, Zoloft, EffexorXR (just cuz it didn't work for me doesn't mean it wouldn't for you), Lexapro.
I would suggest (and this is just a LAYPERSON's suggestion) trying the above things before moving to the TCA's or MAOI's. Again, JUST a suggestion.
Good luck 2 U
