I just started the celexa and ive noticed something i didnt before when i was on it i have these deep big long yawns like i havent slept in days, they arent bothering me because they are such genuine yawns, if that makes sense, anyone else?

I noticed that when I was on Paxil. It's a normal SSRI side effect. It's annoying at first, but it gets better and you'll get more accustomed to it. There's no harm in it.

Yeh i got this with Venlafaxine and now get it with Prozac too. I have gotten used to it now though, although it is a little embarrasing when you are talking to your boss, or you are in the middle of class and suddenly start yawning. I have had the "am I boring you?" look from both my bosses and teachers.
