Celexa (Citalopram) Reviews

I tried many different medicines before I found Celexa (or generically called Citalopram).  I was amazed by what a difference it made in my life.  Seriously.  Medicine though, especially for mental health issues, is a person by person thing.  Side effects and dosage can vary based on several things.  I took the 40 mg dosage and it has made all the difference, even compared to the 20 mg dosage.  Side effects for me personally included decrease of libido and a happier, healthier me!  While the first one of these may sound horrible it wasn't as bad as it sounds.  I'd much rather have a little...

I was put on Celexa towards the end of June.   I was taking an antidepressant already, but developed extreme anxities.    I think the anxieties were already there, but assumed they were part of the depression.  So my Dr added the Celexa.  I was nervous at first.  I had read on line reviews that people had awful side effects while they were on and coming off of it.  Most people complained about weight gain and that they just didn't feel good.  I have not experienced any side effects.  Which surprises me.  I am usually sensitive to medications and if they have side effects, I usually...

I have been taking Celexa at 20 milligrams for about 4 or 5 years now.  I had tried other anti-depressants like Lithium, Paxil, and Zoloft and none of them did for me what Celexa has done.  I began to notice a difference after taking it a month or two.  I began to feel better about myself and the world around me.  I interacted better with my peers at home and at work and especially with my family.  I started out at 20 milligrams, went up to 40 after about 2 years, but then lowered it back down to 20 about a year and a half ago, which was great because I got pregnant soon afterwards.  It...

I suffer from a lot of anxiety problems, so naturally I went to my doctor a year or so ago. He didn't want to put me on anything too strong, for which I was thankful, and so he suggested Celexa. Celexa is technically an anti-depressant; however, if you have a mild anxiety disorder, it seems to work quite well.

I first started taking a small amount of Celexa for about six months. At first, it was working great. I felt happy - almost euphoric - and I was so much more relaxed. As a college student, I need all the help I can get keeping my stress levels down, and I noticed an improvement in my mood...

I have been taking perscription anti-depressants on and off for over 10 years. When my insurance denied my request for Lexapro, which had been working for me, my doctor perscribed me generic Celexa (citalopram) instead. I have been happy with how it has been helping me. I stopped taking it for a few months while I was pregnant and found myself in a very bad place. I went back on it and have been taking it ever since. I took it through both of my pregnancies and while breast-feeding. While it is not advisable to do so, I haven't had any negative side effects and both of my children are healthy and...

Citalopram/Celxa is wonderful. For years we did not know why my husband was so angry,the doc offered him this medicine when his dad was dying. The difference is like day and night.He has become a new and better man. I am so glad the Dr. offered  him this medicine . It really works.Before he begain taking this,he would get mad and throw things,and could never figuire out what was making him so mad.No one ever thought of depression. Within 4 years his mom ,dad and sister died ,no wonder he was depressed.Thank God for this medicine. It has improved his whole way of life.We have been able to talk...

Felt a bit down and not in control of my life.  Had a hard time concentrating and focusing on the many problems that were around me.  I thought I could handle it and take it one day a time, but it wasn't working.  I noticed in less than a week of taking the Citalopram I felt a lot better and that everything didn't have to be completed immediately.  I wasn't as pressed for time to do everything and the drug took the "edge" off my anxiety.  During the summer my job get stressful at times and I have to complete multiple projects and meet deadlines at a daily basis.  I sometimes work long hours...

Always seek medical advice for treating depression.  For me Celexa has been a wonderful medication.   After I had my daughter, my hormones went haywire.   I suffered from anxiety and depression.   The phychiatrist prescribed celexa for me and it has been a life saver ever since.   It does not alter your brain,  but it helps to keep your thoughts and moods at an even level.   Not too high or too low.

Depression is a horrible disease and no one should have to suffer with it.  There are many medications available and for me Celexa was recommended and I have taken it ever since.

I could...

Celexa is a perscription medication used to treat and manage the symptoms of anxiety and depression. I have suffered with anxiety and depression since I was 12 years old and I have tried many medications to treat this condition. I have been using celexa for almost 5 years now and I think that it works very well to control the symptoms I have. It helps make me less anxious and stabilizes my moods so I am not as depressed. I am currently taking the 60mg dose which is the max dose that is perscribed. This drug is avaliable in 10mg, 20mg, and 40mg pills to make the dosing more convinent. The only complaint...
