In reply to PLEASE something positve on Celexa!!, posted by cherylann on July 10, 2005, at 21:14:39
Celexa and Lexapro (same active ingredient) are both very effective and very popular drugs for both anxiety and depression. Also, they usually do not cause weight gain.

> I'm supposed to go up to 20 mgs in a couple days and taper off remeron, due to weight gain that Dr is concerned about. However, he thought it would be fine if I took a full dose of both meds, as the remeron still works somewhat for me and the celexa might take some weight off. That seems strange to me, and I'm thinking the remeron needs to go.
