Hi. Yes, I was miserably cold on Celexa. But not on Lexapro. It improved 2-3 days after stopping Celexa. Serotonin is involved in a variety of physiological processes. From what I understand, the 5HT1a receptor is involved in thermoregulation. Maybe others, but my knowledge is limited. If you search on "serotonin receptor* thermoregulation" you'll find a lot. I don't know if Celexa preferentially acts on certain subclasses of receptors. At any rate, the problem is easy to fix by stopping the drug since you can't tolerate it for other reasons anyway.

> Hi Emme. I've been wanting to ask you about one of your adverse reactions to Celexa. I think you said that you felt very cold on it. I had that experience on Celexa and Lexapro. There are other reasons why I'm unable to tolerate either of those meds, but the constant shivering is one of the more important ones. Did you ever find out what causes this? I'm interested in finding out what causes this problem. Perhaps it would provide a clue to other difficulties I've had as well.
