Other than being stimulated - equivalent to drinking a cup or two of coffee - there have been no effects. Well, okay, one effect, definite decrease in libido - though I can still perform. Just no drive to do so. Only on day 7 though. I'm still hoping this is a med I can settle into rather than have to switch. I intend to give it a month. Celexa is creeping up to the top of the list of next choice. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.Thanks, and I'll definitely continue to look for signs of mania or hypo mania.
