I have been on Celexa and Ativan for 4 weeks plus.
I went through a period of sadness and crying but i believe these are normal symptoms.
I also am tired and not very motivated but the Dr. says that will also improve as time goes on. It did mess up my mentrual cycle so I am late and I'm sure the hormones aren't helping any.
I was also told it takes a good 6 weeks or more to get the medication into your system depending on your anxiety level.
I take the Celexa in the morning-started with 10 mg first week and then 20 mg after. I take an Ativan about an hour after the Celexa and then12 hours later at bedtime another to help me sleep.
Good luck and hang in there. I'm trying to do the same.
