Default Citalopram?

I've just been given this today, 20mg to start on half a tablet for 7 days then increase to a full one....

Was just wondering if anyone else takes it here, and the simple question has it helped you?

yes, it's brand name is celexa. I take 40 mgs and it has helped me so much! I was on 20 mgs till I went for my first psychiatrist app't and he said 20 mgs is enough for a chihuahua! lol

Hey Pink....

You know what "catagory" anti-depressant Celexa is? How did it work for you? What did you try in the past? Sorry to ask so many questions but I feel like a lab rat with being put on so many drugs. I would like to hone in on what could be the right drug. Actually, I think I had a major allergic reaction to Trazadone. Not sure but checkin into it at the moment. I just want to start to feel better and to SLEEP!

Thanks....

Celexa is an SSRI and I am on 40mgs and am getting my life back! not only because of the meds but through the help of my psychiatrist and a book I am reading which you also do written exercises in called " the feeling good handbook " I think it's by david burns.

In the past I have tried prozac and paxil twice, although they are both SSRI's celexa is doing me alot of good.

If you have anymore questions feel free to ask
