HI-I have been taking 10 mg Celexa for about 12 days that I began for depression and anxiety. I am still taking trazadone at night to help sleep and occasainly a xanax. I have just upped my dosage to 20 mg about 2 days ago. Was wondering for others-how long did it take for you to notice a real benefit with the Celexa, and a decrease in anxiety and depression-what dosage worked best for you? c

I took Celexa (Cipramal in NZ) for 6 weeks and it didn't work. I'm now taking Imipramine (a tricyclic)which seems to be making me feel even worse in the mornings

It took about a week to feel less anxiety and 2 weeks to feel less depression. I am now in week 11 on 20 mg and it is working very well. I had the sexual side effects but that went away in the 9th week. I also take SAM-e every day. I also occasionally take Kava Kava if I feel anxiety.
