It's wonderful when a med has a positive side effect, isn't it?

I actually gained 30 lbs on Celexa so I guess everyone's experience is different. I lost the weight after I stopped taking Celexa. I don't think Celexa increased my appetite. It just drained my energy and made me feel very lazy; I had an overwhelming feeling of inertia whenever I was home alone. So, I didn't keep up on my exercise regime while I was taking it.

I'm on Lexapro now -- started taking it for depression -- and as a surprising side effect, I haven't had a panic attack in nearly a month. I wasn't expecting that to happen.

I hope Celexa keeps working for you. We're so used to all the unpleasant side effects of meds. It's wonderful when something works and has a POSITIVE side effect!
