I am on a baby dose of Celexa, which was started by my internist at 20mg/day and made me hypomanic. My pdoc immediately reduced the dose to 10 mg/day and is firm about never increasing it. In fact, the only reason I'm still on it is because even with the reduced dose, I became dysphoric and irrational when he tried taking me off of it.

I don't know that it does a whole lot for me since I'm on the other meds listed below and the Lamictal covers the depression pretty well, but I do know what I'm like without it.
