I was on celexa for about six months when I was sixteen. It helped me out a lot, but it was the first medicine of that kind that I had tried. Towards the end of those few months i had some negative side effects that may or may not have been completely related to the drug, but I got about 5 times more anxious than i was before i started taking it for anxiety/depression.. mostly for depression *at the time* but my anxiety worsened. This could have been environmental anyhow. Get it? environMENTAL.. just kidding.. im kinda mental is all. :-P Sorry. Anyway, it didnt work out that well for me but it did help my depression quite a bit. I just ended up with restless leg after starting it... but it continued after I stopped taking the drug so./.. meh. Not sure. but good luck, every med is different for every person, so i hope they found the right one for you

EDIT: Also I had nasea for the first week or so i took celexa, but it went away. It wasn't that bad anyway, i just remembred it.

I am on Paxil right now and it is working absolutely wonderfully. I just cut my dose in half a few months ago and am still doing very well. To be honest, it really changed my life. I havent had a panic attack in a very long time.

Yea, I was on Zoloft first, then Celexa, and now, due to lack of health insurance, something cheaper... Paxil, which I've yet to try. Zoloft worked wonders, Celexa maybe less, and we shall see about Paxil. I never had serious depression problems, but it got rid of a lot of my moodiness/emotionalism and made it easier to deal with stuff that used to stress me out/depress me to no end, for no reason. Only "side effect" I noticed is that it took away some of my creativity, I think because I'm not as emotional anymore. No more desire to read lyrics or write my own. Sad... but still a better overall quality of life. First week, I had some lightheadedness. Good luck with it, I'm sure it'll work for you, and don't be self-conscious about it... it seems everyone is on it haha.

That's true.

Why did you switch off of Zoloft if it was working so well?
