Celexa was the best thing in the word for me. Such depression. Such anxiety. I was a mess. Once on Celexa, I started to feel the effects after only 1 1/2 weeks. My life changed. After menial jobs and spates on unemployment, I landed a great job and became a social butterfly. I had a newfound interest in all things lovely. So I had a love-affair with Celexa for a couple of years.
Unfortunate about my sexual side-effect. It wasn't so much a libido issue (I still liked sex) but I experienced an "erectile dysfunction". That's pretty tough for a social butterflying guy. I imagine you won't be having any erectile problems, but I just mentioned it b/cit was the only reason I got off the stuff. It was happiness in a pill. And I didn't even feel artificial, you know?
BTW, I also bought into that Lexapro rap about a more "benign" side-effect profile. It ain't true, yet it's not the same as Celexa, either. FOR ME, Celexa was better. More organic feeling. I nice ride. Lexapro has had an edge for me (and for an exgirlfriend of mine) that I did not like.
Of course, everyone's different.
Celexa rocked. Sigh.
