Whenever I get new meds, I try to read the material the pharmacy gives you with the rx. I pay particular attention to the possible side effects and the "call your doctor if you have any of these signs..." warning on the material from the pharmacy. I experienced the same reaction you had with celexa with a different med and called the doctor when these symptoms appeared. It is important to review the printed material for all meds, particularly new ones. Also I have talked to the pharmacist when I have a question about a medicine.

I am sorry you had this experience. It is scary when it happens.
