    Side effects he experienced:
    Felt a little numb, a little giddy at times
    Lack of sexual desire and pleasure
    Vivid dreams and zap feeling in head when forgetting a dose or two
    Those effects have now reduced and he's now just living his life with less anxiety.
    Dealing with his anxiety has opened so many doors to people, jobs etc.
    Worked well for him.

    Excited to start this drug tomorrow. I’ve always had social anxiety and fear of people but severe anxiety hit me in 2019 when my mom died. I could barely breath and i had dizzy feelings for months and thought i was dying. In 2021 it got so bad i ended up bedridden for a month from dizziness and the inability to walk. I’m much better now but still have to take deep breaths a lot and around certain people and situations i do feel light headed and short of breath. I don’t know why i feel any of this it just happens. Hoping this drug takes off the edge and gets rid of all this stress and anxiety. It’s been an overwhelming last 3 years

Went on Celexa a week ago, and I not only haven't felt this great/normal since high school, (24) but my libido has also shot through the roof. (Probably because it's been so low for so long) I appreciate the honest review and hope this can help encourage others who might need it.

    Celexa has a high success rate. It’s a mild antidepressant, only 30mg. And it rids negative thoughts. Helped me get out of a Major Depression when I was 17. Only took it for 7 months. And after I sustained pretty well, mentally, however I did grow, stuggled with my own anger sometimes, and laziness, so thinkin about gettin back on it. Maybe Maybe not. Cause I’m not as depressed as I was when I needed it. Maybe I just need therapy now, I’m 25. lol
    Anyway Celexa works real well. I also recommend changing the place you go to that causes the most depression. You gotta also make changes when you start taking this SSRI. You’ll be more confident. Negative thoughts get erased. And you restart. It was great.

      @@javenrosales2172 Cool. I hope it works for you like it did for me. You should notice changes, within 3 days or the first week. It is a subtle anti-depressant. Meaning it works by letting your body keep serotonin/ retain it.. So usually it will get rid of automatic negative thoughts and feelings. That come out of the blue for no reason. You will still be normal and sober on this drug, thinking is the same, but it puts a block or a wall on those negative emotions or thoughts that were affecting your life.
      I found it cleared up negativity so I could move forward and start making decisions to change my life, and taking control and responsibility.

    I've been taking citalopram (10mg) daily for three weeks and I had a huge increase in anxiety after three days. It was so bad I went to hospital. I live in a rural area and my neighbour kindly drove me to hospital at 4.00am on the day. I wanted an injection to calm me and/or advice on how to stop the tablets. They talked to me instead which calmed me down and I dediced to continue. Since then I've had periods of high anxiety for a few hours here and there, the last few days it has worsened again (so from about day 18 to 21), and I sometimes go for a walk as I can't sit still and have considered going to hospital again but haven't yet. My doctor has prescribed me valium and another anti-anxiety medication to get me through. I am so hoping this anxiety surge is temporary, from what I've read 'the anxiety stops after a few weeks' and 'it can take six weeks for my system to fully get used to it' - so all I have to do is wait. Can people reading this, who had anxiety early on when taking citalopram - which later went away - please comment on their experience, and also how long it does take to go. Many thanks.

      From what I've read, our food supply is one huge chemical experiment. And I remember the junk food I ate 30 years ago when I had similar issues. Doctors were reporting everything was fine and wanted to place me on SSRI's due to my symptoms. I felt like a 60 year old man with issues that would fill a page.
      I believe in finding the source of any problem, not just masking them. But I DO understand that it's not always possible and you may have to go to several doctors to find one that can find the route cause.
      After going to tons of doctors, a co-worker recommended one in a small town who was a D.O. and he had studied Wilson's Syndrome. He took time to listen to my issues and even though my blood work (including my thyroid) was fine he tried some thyroid hormone replacements. In short, his analysis was based on his experience and studies of Wilson's Syndrome. He solved all of my issues with a T3 hormone adjustment 30 years ago, which I'm still on, and NONE of my prior issues ever returned. Many issues corrected themselves. You can read more about this online. It may not be YOUR issue but it highlights the problem with our medical professionals who, based on $$, don't take the time to do the underlying research they should be doing, and quickly shoving pills instead. Why did I have to go to SO many doctors to find this solution??
      We like to think than when we go to a professional, like a doctor, they'll know everything. Don't EVER assume that! I hate to see a doctor whipping out a prescription pad within 1 min of my health complaint. That's NOT proper medical treatment if you ask me.
      Try to read about your condition on line using peer reviewed journals. Yes, they are tough to read but do the best you can to become more of an expert on your own condition and some of its causes and treatments. That way you can better evaluate whether your doctor is really trying to get to the route cause of your condition, or merely shoving pills with side effects as a quick fix.
      It highly concerns me that SO many young people are bring treated with SSRI's. This isn't normal and there has to be a reason. Food supply? Air supply? It's got to be something in our environment causing this.

    Be aware you aren't locked-in on this SSRI. I'm on luvox which has fewer sexual side-effects, but treats a different array of disorders. The prozac just-about locked me out sexually, but was very effective under a small dose. If you're happy where you are, stay, but some practitioners are more-and-less willing to try different treatments. There is a period of adjustment if you do agree on something different.

      I can't say what will work well for you. None of the SSRIs helped me much with being energetic etc. Though I had okay experience with wellbutrin, that one didn't impact OCD too much. The trial-and-error can take a couple of years or longer, so it's best to find a practitioner who is patient and listens.

      The SSRI all work a bit differently. Prozac is notorious for killing erections and generating headaches. Luvox and zoloft not so much. My use of luvox wasn't so different from wellbutrin, but it does help with intermittent explosive disorder, and of course OCD.
      One unusual side-effect on luvox: I had cold extremities for over 45 years. Now my hands and feet are warm most of the time.

And why does my house look different then the log cabin in the center of a lake with no bridge to it. Took 5 min of knowing somethings not right didn’t freak out totally because it was subconsciously there that I knew it was the meds and I remembered… never took that shit again I was on just that medication and it was 20 mg… took it for a month or so… idk what that was about but my dreams where so vivid I can with out “strain” control my dream see it bright as day as if it was another world and I had the focus no haze to be lead by my guides to tell me how I can create and I actually got bored like you do on a video game with cheat codes and to much detail to bother with so people I created I had to design every detail hair blah down to there organs and personality in all aspects so people where just mannequins that only did as I wanted them to do by command unless I was less lazy and designed them… I gave my self a firework show and plaid the most beautiful heartstring pulling music I could ever hear across my world and decided to create a fair or carnival… no chance of bad nightmares like that in detail because you have to really focus on it… so not scary but really odd to experience god level of consciousness. It was a good experience except the closest thing to a scare but because it’s also anti anxiety it’s kinda not was the forgetting I’m basically not in a dream and forgot what normal was.. that’s how powerful that dream was… hope that was clear as day. It’s not psychosis it was just another form of acceptance anything was possible that my subconscious was trying to point out but it was one time. I think this was a out of body experience and you can get to that level if you meditate naturally. No different then a normal person who has a nightmare once in a blue moon and wakes up sad and wants to hug somone because they wanted to live them more because of the dream. Or checking on them just to know they are ok. Or something… just more awareness and vividness… don’t take with the bad drugs tho… not that I have but I can see that messing somone up and causing trauma or something… even if it’s Mary Jane.
