| Add Celexa review After many family dilemas, I was depressed and unable to function. This drug put me on an even keel. The only real problem I am having is increased sweating and tight calf muscles upon waking. This Medication has controlled my depression/Anxiety for about a year now.

Daughter is ADHD/Sensory Issues/ODD (oppositional defiant disorder) The daily interactions with her were getting to the point that I cried all the way to work after I dropped her off at school everyday. Everthing is a struggle. Felt I needed something to help calm down and help in dealing with. It helped. Doctor did not want me on for longer than 6 months. It has been about a year. I curren ... Was on Lexapro for 8 years. Loved it. Lost insurance benefits and had to switch.

Not down but n ... A friend of mine was prescribed this drug about 2months ago after her sucide attempt. She seems much happier nw, almost even much to say she has a different perspective of life? Side effective sleep is disrupted every nite same time, sum times she also experiences headaches. I took this drug for 5 days and had a seizure (never had one before). I am convinced it was this drug that caused it. I stopped taking it. I have no other opinions otherwise. Ive been taking this medicine for several yrs, Im taking 200mg, and its really helped me enjoy life. | |||
