Im in to my 4th week of Celexa/citalopram. Most of the awful side effects have gone away in the past few days. My anxiety side effect (I actually went grocery shopping yesterday. And no panic attack. At all.), my jittery side effects and my side effect that made me feel just gross. All thats left is the drowsiness/dizziness and the dreadful sexual side effects (I am female). Do these ever go away with SSRIs? Or is it just part of it?

It's only been four weeks, there is plenty of time for the SE's to go away, even sexual side effects. If you do not feel completely well, then consider that your sex may improve once you hit remission.
