Celexa

[Spiderallis]

Nearing one month on 20 mg citalopram, no noticeable changes. Still a bit down, not sleeping well if at all, and anxious at times. Only side effect is drinking a bit more water, but I've got two more weeks until I see the psychiatrist. Maybe I'll see some improvement by then.

Im 23 and had never been on anti-depressants or SSRIs..nothing like that, until one month ago when my doctor put me on 20mg citalopram. It was a last resort decision and I had a lot of reservations about it.

But I was pleasantly suprised and it has given me a real boost which has meant the things I wanted to do but could never manage before, I have now been able to get on with. I realised I was making my life more difficult that it had to be and had given up on tasks that were actually very simple but needed a bit of enthusiasm. I have the occasional ever so mild low feeling for a few minutes sometimes now and then but it is nowhere near like how it was before. I'm on my second box now, so month 2 and so far so good.

I'd say to anyone who isn't noticing a change, give it time and if you have any bad side effects at all by all means go back to your doctor and try something else that you are compatible with. I guess it's like trying to find the perfect partner, hang on in there and you'll find the right one for you :p

Didn't make any difference on 10mg...GP upped it to 20 yesterday, so it's too early to tell at the moment.

Does anyone know of an over the counter allergy/sinus treatment that doesn't interact with celexa (citalopram)? Everything I've looked up causes problems with it. The cottonwoods are kicking my butt.

Spiderallis - have you asked a pharmacist? They would probably be the best person to ask with regard to drug interactions.

I hope you find something you can take to help your allergy.

Asking the pharmacist is the next step, I try to look things up on my own first.
