i started on xanax .25mg for anxiety and stress for 1-week then i was given xanax xr 5mg and celexa 20mg 1/2 for 6 days, thereafter 20mg and let me tell you going to the 20mg i felt like a zombie, the next morning jittering, very sleepy and cranky, since this is the first time on this med maybe thats my body reacting, so i took again the next night, very nausea, jittery, and sweaty, between my husband and i i went back to 10mg. of celexa at nite, i continue to take xanax xr 5mg in the morning, along with god, the angels and family friends doctors and myself i know i'll get through this and became the person i once was. oh yeah forgot to mention along with this i have an impacted wisdom tooth (left). so everyone out there who is started or who has been through this have faith and take it one step at a time and life will get better. please post any comments!!!!

I had nausea at first, but after that subsided, the depression got better. It was the first drug that actually worked for my depression.
I still feel down now and then, but the Celexa really helped me a lot.

I have been on Celexa for a little over a week for panic attacks/anxiety. The first 2 days I took it I felt like I was in a dream, light headed, tingly, pretty much just intensifying my problems in the first place so I stopped taking Celexa for a few days.. then I spoke with my doctor and she said to try taking it at night instead of the morning. So I began taking Celexa at bedtime. I didn't have much side effects except for a little trouble sleeping, but I actually was starting to feel "better", for about 4 days I was feeling really well and resuming normal activities. Then out of nowhere on that 4th day in the evening I got a really bad panic attack, and for the past 3 days since I've been feeling high anxiety and panic again. I don't understand, because I really felt like I was getting better. I told my doctor what has been happening and all she said was that its normal to have set backs and to continue the Celexa. I'm also taking Ativan to help control the anxiety until the Celexa "kicks in", but in the past few days nothing has been seeming to help. Has anyone experienced this? Is it because I've only been on Celexa for a week? I feel like I am going crazy being back in this lightheaded fog.
