I've been on Celexa for 2 months. I'm now up to 50mg, and my target dose is 60mg (to help with anxiety/OCD).
I find it a very mild med. The only real problem that I experienced with it is chronic diarrhea. After 2 months of running to the washroom about five times per day with liquid bowel movement, I finally realized that this side effect was not going to stop! So now I'm on 2mg of Loperamide per day, and the diarrhea is gone.
I have not found that Celexa has dulled my emotions or my cognitive abilities. It just seems to help take the edge off of my day a little.
I hope you do well on this med.
