Hi Rosie-I have been taking Celexa for about a month now. I had never been on an anti-depressant before so I was a little nervous about starting one. This site has been really helpful since my doctor gave me virtually no information on Celexa-just gave me some samples and a prescription and said "let's see how it goes". At first I was kind of drowsy and out of it but noticed I was less depressed right away. I was having some memory slips but that seems to be getting better now. I take 20 mg/ 1 x daily.
I read back at some old journal entries and realized this medication has really helped me a lot. I don't ever slip into those late night lows or feel my life is worthless anymore. I smile more, am happier in general. The side affects are lessening...I've lost some weight and am still a bit groggy and spacy at times but the benefits really seem to outweigh the downfalls.
Good luck to you!
