hello everyone i have recently just started my second time on celexa and i dont remember having side effects like this the first time. my doctor had taken me off and put me on prozac and i had told her i was not a fan of how prozac made me feel so she had me go back on celexa and the only side affect i have been feeling is like spaced out and having to really concentrate on things i did not really have to before. it almost feels like you go all day without your glasses and when im around people i just feel disconnected
has anyone else felt like this?
i found the side effects a lot worse 2nd time around and it does take longer to recover but u do get there
Hi Lexi,
This is my 3rd time at cit 10mg.
I have found it an altogether different experience this time around. For a start, it has taken a lot longer to stabilise. Am on week 13 and really only recently have stabilised a bit more. Still get very shaky symptoms, a bit of racing heart now and again. Yesterday was knackered because of work, and the cit just made me feel out of it and disconnected. Thankfully better today.
Week 9 was horrible, felt really depressed again.
So yes, what you’re describing sounds totally normal to me x
Did you have the shakeing before you went on it at all, I have internal treamberling since April this year, had a mini break down, I am week 5 now 15mg from yesterday, still waking up rapid heartbeats and treamberling, also have it around tea time I will keep going second time on it for me
Hi Lexi, yes I have had a different experience with celexa this time around, my doctor thinks its to do with my menopause that has made me really sensitive to meds.
Yes, I did. Still get occasional rapid heart at 13 weeks of 10mg, but it’s settling down. You will stabilise. Don’t forget, if you increase dose, you might get side effects again, but it will settle x
What mg are you on, please
i think i may cut mine in half and see how that help they also gave me on effexor
how long have been on celexa?
i was on it for 2 years then i got sick from sewer gas and she switched to prozac i hated thatso she put me on celxa 40 mg than i had a anxity attack about a week ago and since than i havent felt myself.
so how long you been on forty?
could it have been a blip?that you experience.it may also be that 40 milligrams is too high.i know when i was on 20 i felt horrible.but as soon as i drop to ten every side effects started subsiding
and eventually i recovered on ten milligrams.
im going to split the pill tonight
Went on it to help my internal treamberling, hasn’t done a thing for them week 6 10mg, updose to 15mg 3 days ago
Hi, this is my second time on citalopram too, i recovered last time on 20mg and i then went down to 10mg for five years and i did great, i just wish i hadnt stopped them. This time i’m on 30mg and i’m having many more good days that bad days but i still get disheartened when i have moments of panic, it offsets me for days. I do feel like its taking longer to work this time but I’m too afraid to go up to 40mg. I just long to get better.
