I feel real embarrassed about admitting it, but my libido completely dissapeared while I was on this drug

if all i have is anxiety disorder, why do i have to take an anti depressant? i don't know much about medicine, but this is what my doctor put me on, and i don't get why i'm on an anti depressant.

you have to stick with it..... it really does come good... Im a year into it, and I've taken the decision to come off the medication... 2 months in, Im really happy with coming off....

do these start to stop working after a while? i've been taking these for about six months now and recently i've started to feel quite anxious and am having sleep trouble, but i can't tell if it is because i've left school and don't have job yet, and i haven't really done anything since may , so i'm not sure if if it's that or if my body is starting to tolerate the dosage

i was taking citalopram also, i didn't like it at all. every day i took it i was dizzy, nausious, had stomach pains, more angry than before that stuff sucks.

I took it before bed and woke up an hour later crying and laughing and freaking out then the next day i found i had chewed the inside of my mouth.... :(

@hideandseekk because of an anti depressant is also the same thing used to treat anxiety. Depression and anxiety is pretty mutch the same thing, different effect.

was prescribed this by my doctor yesterday to treat my clinical depression, i'm on 20mg a day and will be kept on it for around 6 months, hope it works!

I took 'em for 2 years. Stopped a month or so ago. Didn't get any side affects, but I did get some withdrawal symptoms like light-headedness. I don't think they really worked for me, although I was on a small dosage by the end. If I get seriously depressed again, I might try some St John's wort instead of this useless crap.

because its not a class 1 narcotic like ativan or xanax, your doc does not have to worry about fda , they have special paper work for those drugs, very strict and monitored. good luck

It's my fourth day on Celexa and I am having MAJOR problems sleeping, do you guys know if that goes away soon?

It may. That's not a good answer but it's really the only one. If it is giving you trouble, just ask the doctor for a different medication.
