Hey everyone! So I actually went to my Dr appointment yesterday. Things went well. I had some anxiety in the waiting room but I was okay. it wasnt untill they called me back that my heart started racing, hands trembling, voice shaking. When my Dr came in and I started explaining my condition, I teared up a little but didn't completely lose it. He handed me a tissue and started explaining to me that he has had a lot of success in treating his female patients who have anxiety with Celexa. He prescribed me with 20mg and told me that I wouldn't feel like it is working for a week. I took my first dose this morning. So far my only side effects are dialated pupils, light-headedness, yawning, and i was feeling a good bit spacey the first few hours after taking it. From all that I have read online most people experiance side effects most intensly after they take their second dose and experiance those side effects for up to a couple weeks. I have read a lot of testimonials that say they just suddenly feel much better(regarding their anxiety) one day and those side effects pass. I was wondering if anyone else has any experiance taking celexa and might have any advice for me?

Celexa worked really quickly for me. Faster than any other meds I've ever taken. I didn't have any side effects though. It's great

I have been on celexa for 3 years going on my 4th. I have had great success with it. There are a few side effects until about the 2nd - 3rd week, then everything seemed to even out. After that you don't feel any side effects and sometimes I forget that I have taken it, since there isn't a drugged feeling. I am calmer, don't shake nearly as bad or at all, less up and down moody, more even. I hope this helps. Keeping you in my prayers.
