I just recently changed my medication from Celexa, but I did it because it was no longer effective. I had been on Celexa for 5 years and other than the side effects that come with every anti-depressant it was fine. Although getting off it was a doozy.
Thanks for this!

sorry, just now getting your message. The FDA came out with a warning in mid-Oct that it could cause irregalar heart probs, like sudden death due to QT?? A max of 40 mg was suggested.......since I had a history of cardiac issues, I changed to prozac, but I also am having dizziness and a few speed bumps; celexa worked well for me, better than what i'm on now.......regards
