Celexa Makes Me Sleepy

[Hopeful1989]

I finally got on a sleep schedule where I wake up before sun down. I had my days and nights reversed for THE LONGEST time. But now I am on Celexa and I am exhausted all day. I know I should start taking it at night but how do I do that. I took some this morning, can I take it again at night and just start taking it before I go to bed? And then secondly, how do I get through today THIS EXHAUSTED. And is this normal? Help.

I would NOT take another dose tonight, I would wait till tomorrow night and then take it. You might have a bit of a rough day tomorrow, but you should do ok......

When I first started Celexa I took it in the mornings but it made me tired as well that was many years ago. I just started taking it in the morning again I feel as if I'm sleeping away most of the effect of the drug where as if I take it in the morning I get better results throughout the day before the half life of the drug goes down. Though I'm no expert and this is something I started only a few days ago.
