I'm taking Citalopram (generic form of celexa) and at 20mg it wasn't working well for me. The Psychiatrist then upped me to 40mg and that seems to be helping however I can relate to the no sleep!! (symptom of the depression that I had before I started taking meds). To help me sleep at night I was prescribed Trazodone which is an antidepressant to take as needed for sleeping. The side effect of Trazodone is sleepiness. I took one pill before bedtime the other night and I was out cold within 30 minutes and slept straight through the night for the first time. I thought I was going to pass out before I made it to my bed.

I hope you find something that works for you. I've been on meds now for 5 weeks it does take time to work. Hoping for you to have a speedy recovery.
