Anyone coming off of Celexa feel free to email me. I have been off for 4 or 5 days now and I don't have enough time to write down what I am going thru.
Bad dizziness/wavy when I turn my head.. clenching teeth..my right arm is aching.. no idea why or if it has anything to do with this...
moody...feeling I can cry and have.. at almost anytime.. headaches behinf the eyes..
This is hard..not to mention no libido whatsoever...

I have been on Celexa (citalopram) for about 13 months. I took it at night, starting with 10mg and over time worked up to 60mg which is the max. dose. My doctor switched me to Lexapro and then Cymbalta to see if they worked better, but eventually I ended up back on Celexa, that seemed to be best. I did gain about 35 pounds on it, though and was still going, along with absolutely NO sex drive whatsoever. When my husband could finally coax me into it, I couldn't orgasm at all. I finally begged him to even stop trying, the attempts seemed to annoy me. This wasn't me, so I slowly tried weaning off of it. First down to 40, then 20, then 10.

so here's my question: I've been completely off of it for 3 days now and I'm still feeling dizzy, lightheaded, have indigestion, headaches, etc. The other times I was off of it, I went right on another med, so I didn't seem to notice the side effects. Anyone who has been taken off of Celexa, PLEASE respond and let me know how long these awful effects last? I have a 2 year old I have to care for and she doesn't understand why mommy feels "woozy" all the time.

HI I AM 37 YEARS OLD AND 1 WEEK AGO I WENT TO THE DR FOR HEADACHES EVERY DAY, AND MY DR TOLD ME IT HAD TO BE DUE TO STRESS, BECAUSE MY BLOOD TEST AND PAP SMERE CAME BACK NORMAL AND I WAS PERFECTLY HEALTHY. SHE PRESCRIBED CELEXA AND SAID THIS SHOULD HELP. ALL OF A SUDDEN I HAVE NO SEX DRIVE, HEADACHES, NAUSEA, DIZZY, LOSS OF APPETITE, SHORT OF BREATH, MOUTH IS DRY, VERY EMOTIONAL, MY WHOLE BODY ACHES. IM GOING TO THE DR. AND HAVING HER TAKE ME OFF I WOULD RATHER JUST HAVE THE HEADACHES. DOES ANY ONE ELS HAVE THESE SYMPTOMS?????

I have been on it for a lil over a week now for anxiety

The 1st day I had a headache I usually never ever get headaches!!
I still have dry mouth
very tired & also YAWNING attacks sounds funny but I'm dead serious It lasts for maybe an hr once in the morn & also once in the late afternoon I'll yawn like 20-30x my jaw even gets tired but I still feel like I have to yawn more :o

don't know if I'll stay on it I'm hoping the longer I'm on the better the S/E's will get?? I'm on 10mg right now it does seem to be helping somewhat for the anxiety though so we'll see?

I've been taking 20 mgs of Celexa for a month now, and have been having trouble sleeping and have leg cramps and muscle twitches, and headaches. i find it hard to get to sleep and stay asleep. i have constant cramps in my calves. food has been tasting really good. i feel like my sense of taste has been heightened. anyone else have these effects? do they go away?

headaches, frequesnt upper resoiratory infections, aggravate allergies, delayed ejaculations with less power, legs feeling tight and jumpy, hit or kick while dreaming. greater than normal libido, especially for minority women.

I was on Celexa for a year and a half and gained 40lbs!!! Has anyone else experienced this? It was a great anti-depressant but did make one somewhat lethargic. I also kept having small fits of depression here and there despite the meds. I just switched to Wellbuterin and its making me alternately spacey and moody, but i've only been on it four days. Does it get better?

Hi I started taking Citilopram 30mg (Celexa) 2 yrs ago because had Vertigo followed by depression. Tried everything to get rid of Vertigo, inlucing MRI Scan, so Dr put it down to stress/anxiety so stayed on them. Get loads of flatulence, muzzy headaches,bad breath - sick of it. Have tried 10mg and started getting dizzy again. Back on 20mg 3 months ago gonna try one every other day because want to get off them cos i do feel happy and positive and life is better now but I know the vertigo will come back, so then what. Which is worse Celexa or Vertigo. Anyone know out there. Lor
