Symbiax often works when most antidepressants don't.

After switching from Citalopram to Cymbalta, my mother has been doing much better. I am here primary caregiver. However, it has been brought to my attention that there may be some dangers with Kidney issues. Please talk to m.d. about that.

Other than that, one brother is on Zoloft and is a new and improved version after only 2 weks. My father took Prozac for several years and it seemed to help a bit.

I tried several and none seem to work for me, so we're looking into other things but Lexapro has gotten rave reviews from some people I know in my T's office.

Good Luck and be well.

It's cousin drug is Lexapro, (escitaloptam). (In Canada, it's called Cipralex)

I was on this one, not the regular Celexa... it worked well for me, the only reason I switched off it was because I gained weight.

Talk to your doctor?
