From Zoloft to Celexa... - Depression Message Board

scaredbuthopeful · 10-16-2003, 01:16 AM

For the last couple of weeks i was taking Zoloft and was having some really bad side affects. I talked to a doctor today and hes decided to pull me off the Zoloft and try Celexa. I dont know much about it so im going to do some research. A few of you here have mentioned it but i would appreciate any good or bad experiences with it that some of you have had.

Thanks!!!

Hi!
This is week 5 for me on Celexa 20mg. I was on Paxil before and had to get off of it because of weight gain. So far the Celexa has helped me A LOT! There was a bit of jitterness and sleeplessness at first but that went away with 3 weeks. Now I feel wonderful almost back to my old self, I am able to fall asleep with little problem and I usaully stay asleep for 6-8 hrs. Celexa has really helped me a lot and in a very short period of time I have noticed a huge difference. I am also in therapy, so ofcourse this has helped as well. I wish you all the best!

Hello there,
Little of my advice I loved Calexa worked wonders and improved my concentration amazingly. Zoloft was down hill for me. My opinion keep tyring Calexa may work for you as well.
Good Luck
