I haven't heard anything like this before. I have been on Celexa for over a year. I am being taken off of it now to try something else. I'd be wary if someone said the drug did it. More likely, the needed effect wasn't achieved and the depression won out over the medication.
> > My sister has been taking celexa for about 6 months. Her husband died of cancer,she's had big problems at work and has just had a bad time of it the past year. She is a recovering alcoholic who had not drank in almost 12 years. Last weekend she bought some beer and attempted suicide. I went to a therapist with her today who thinks celexa may be at least part of the cause. She knows of several people who have committed suicide while on the drug. Who knows anything about this. My sister was on a differnt anti-depressent before, but it didn't help her. Celexa helped alot but obviously the therapist wants her off it it as soon as possible.
