Hi,

I just started on this Sept. 17th. I do not take anything else with it.

I take it for moderate to severe depression. 20mg x2/day.
In the past for SAD I would take Zoloft or Prozac= sugar pill, could not even notice.

I was hesitant to take Celexa because I thought it would be the same way but it wasn't.

It has worked extremely well for me.
Sure, I have days and triggers but it has relieved the "pressure" of the anxiety and depression to where I actually feel better.

Some side effects have been a bit of virtigo and sweating at times. I have had mild aggitation.

I really like it. None are perfect but at least this works for me.

Keep in mind, they all work differently for different people. That is the strange thing about these meds so your doctor needs to know.
Maybe write progress daily. Then you can have something to show him/her, as well as yourself.
