Linkadge,
From what you said above, Zoloft seemed to be better for you. If that's the case then why are you on Celexa now instead of Zoloft?I personally couldn't tell one SSRI from the others. They all did so little for me. That's too bad since I tolerated them so well (except for Celexa). Maybe someday I may take one of them as part of a cocktail of medications but not on its own.
