I have been on this stuff for almost 2 months. I'm constantly sick and tired. I lost 10 pounds in one month. I get very agitated, impulsive, and can't concentrate at work. I have missed so much work ever since I got put on this drug, now I'm probably going to lose my job. I wish they would take this off the market.

@Aseffa18 Because the side effects of any drug or natural remedy are limitless. You can't limit the side effects to what the label says, or even to what every single person who has taken Celexa says happened to them.

I have been on it for two months & it doesn't help me as much as Lexapro did. Im going back on that soon. Also has anyone ever had any hair thining at all from taking Celexa? I have a full head of hair at 30 yrs old and never had any thining. It started within the past month or two.

@seeriktus Dont go by research says! Go by how you feel. Tell your doctor how you feel on this (It made me incredibly anxious, depressed, suicidal and psychotic at first for a long time) That is very important. I'm 41 and been on Citalopram for 6 years and changed my life, I've tried other depressent meds before this one and felt the same as you did. Doctors will experiment different meds until they find the 1 best for you on how you feel. Be honest!! on how you feel on these meds, It's worth it

No, this was not helpful. All you said in the 2 min is that the three main side effects are headaches, digestive issues, and sleep trouble. More information would be helpful. Maybe you could have mentioned that heightened suicidal thoughts is possible with teens and younger. I was switched off paxil to celexa because I felt too unaware of my surroundings. Could anyone tell me how celexa differs from paxil?

I went to the gym to workout Legs and i went hard but couldnt finish because i was dizzy and nausas and my heart was slow was fast all over. I said its prolly just the leg workout i go home feel fine. Night time comes i try to sleep COULDNT! FELT JITTERY ANXIOUS SCARED TOSSING TURNING. My heart felt like it was skipping beats beating skipping weird.

@xXBlackTeddyBearXx I support marijuana. If it was legal to smoke in businesses, I would totally open up my own "marijuana" bar. Think about it. How many people would be sent to the hospital with bar fight related injuries? The down side though to pot is that it causes bronchitis in some people who smoke it, but for the most of us, no real problems. Personally, I would rather smoke marijuana for my anxiety disorder than use celexa, ativan etc.

Cannabis is known to initiate chronic psychosis in susceptible individuals

@patdel92 alcohol removes celexa from your blood into your urine.
