Actually I'm thinking about going on celexa and I was wondering if anyone has heard of "Lexapro"...it's like celexa only it's been said to cause less side effects. Either way, I want some advice from anyone who is on either of these or has tried either one. My story is this: I'm 24 years old, I am the mother of a 17 month old baby and I have 2 step-kids. My husband's ex-wife is a nightmare and I am totally depressed just with life in general. I weigh 110 pounds and will FREAK out if I gain any weight because I've just always enjoyed being thin. I read an article on celexa and it basically said that only a small percentage of the people on it had significant weight gain...so maybe that small percentage of people are the ones who come on these message boards. I keep reading all these horror stories for all these different meds and I've concluded that the people seeking answers for their problems come on this web-site and read these side effect profiles...not the people who are happily getting on with their lives because their medication is working. So if there is actually someone who reads this who has something encouraging to say, please speak up! Thanx a bunch, R.N.
