I have had no weight gain from the celexa. The weight gain came from my atypical antipsychotics. Read the package insert for celexa if you want to know if the medication causes weight gain. You can Google it and see for yourself.
This is the way I feel about it, too, sheltie, and what I found out, as well. Gonna speak with my Pdoc accordingly next month. Thanks!
