I've been on different doses of Celexa for years. I am presently taking 20 mg 1x daily at night but for one reason or another i have a few days (perhaps more) that I seem to have a 'break thru' w/ the med. and experience extreme sadness and even mild panic where i cant even walk down to the mail boxes or take the garbage out to the dumpster. I think this is too seperate dieases but I just wanted to post to see who else out there has had or is having this problem on Celexa.
thanks :)

Hi
I was on Celexa for a couple of years and I don't remember anything like that.
Good Luck!

Denize, It sounds to me like you need an increase in the dose. For Celexa, 20 mg is only the starting dose. I did very well on 60 mg of Celexa.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I think you are correct, I was on the max dose at one time and slowly cut down on my own to the 20mg I am on now...ONLY for one reason....NO INSURANCE! what I will do when this supply runs out not sure what I will do :/

When you talk to your doctor, make sure that he is writing you a prescription for the highest dose pill for Celexa (I think it is 40 mg). Then if you need to take 20 mg, cut each pill in half. It's important to know that a 40 mg pill of Celexa costs the same as a 20 mg pill.
