Celexa 10mg Tablets: My Experience with Side Effects and Management
I started taking Celexa 10mg tablets a few months ago to manage my depression. I was hopeful that it would help, and it has, to some extent. However, I've experienced some side effects that have been a bit challenging. I'm curious to hear from others who have taken Celexa. What side effects have you experienced, and how have you managed them? I've had issues with dizziness and fatigue, which have made it hard to stay focused at work. On the plus side, my mood has improved significantly. I'm considering talking to my doctor about adjusting the dosage. Has anyone else had to adjust their dosage, and if so, did it make a difference? I'm also interested in hearing about any alternative remedies or lifestyle changes that have helped others cope with the side effects. Let's share our experiences and support each other!

I've been on Celexa for a while and it's been life-changing. Sure, I had some dizziness and fatigue at the start, but it completely went away after a few weeks. My anxiety and depression have both improved a lot. Just be patient, and hopefully, you'll start feeling better soon too.
I'm on the fence about Celexa. It helped a little with my depression, but the sexual side effects were a real bummer. I lost interest in sex and had trouble maintaining an erection. It was really frustrating. Not sure what to do now, but I haven't talked to my doctor about it yet.
I had a weird side effect. I gained like 10 pounds in the first month. After a year I still haven't lost it. My doctor is going to switch me to something else.
I've been on Celexa for a year now, and the side effects were pretty bad at first. Dizziness and nausea were the worst for me, but they gradually went away. My mood improved a lot, so it was worth sticking it out, in my opinion. I'd recommend giving it a few months before deciding if it's working for you. Also, I take it in the morning it with food to reduce the nausea.
I've been on Celexa for a couple of years now. My only side effects were drowsiness and sleepiness, but they went away after a month or so. It feels like the medication has helped with both my depression and anxiety. I hope it works for you too, and remember—always speak to your doctor if you're having a bad time.
I switched to Celexa from Lexapro and I felt like I had the flu for the first 2 weeks. But that went away and it’s been a good experience for me so far. Still have issues with my menstrual cycle, but otherwise it’s been good. My depression has gotten a lot more manageable, so i’d say the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
I had a terrible experience with Celexa. Extreme sweating and insomnia were unbearable. I switched to a different SSRI and it’s been so much better. Maybe it’s just not for everyone. If your side effects are really hard to handle, don’t be afraid to talk to your doctor about switching meds.
