just to let you know

I'm on a new SSRI, Celexa. This is my third day. wow, i feel dizzy. But i feel like it's going to be effective. Please let me know if you have heard of it or anything. Do you know anyone who is on it? This is to appease my dysthymia which i had for 10 years.

I have heard of it but not taken it. If you feel it is working than stick with it awhile longer. May be just the right one for you. pinkroses

Hey! I take Celexa too (recurrent major depression). Unfortunately this time I have to switch to something else, but it has worked for me in the past. How about some pharmacologic knowledge (probly more than you wanted to know)? Good stuff, generally fewer side effects than most other SSRI's, which have fewer side effects than other types of antidepressants. 60mg is the max dose. It takes a little while for a clinically effective dosage to build up in your system, depending on your weight, daily dosage, and severity of your illness. So keep taking it like you're supposed to, and if you have an off day, don't give up. Probably you're looking at least 2 weeks, but shouldn't be longer than 6 (for depression). You may feel relief even before then (you seem very optimistic. good!). Hang in there! God is good.
