At the time when I took it, Celexa has relatively few side effects. I worked at a hospital at the time so I researched the heck out it before popping one in my mouth.

My doctor told me Celexa had no side effects, too. But after a few years of being on it, it was like I had no emotions anymore. It was great at first--it got rid of my anxiety attacks--but when I started to feel really "flat" I quit taking it. I know, bad, bad...you're not supposed to quit cold-turkey. I found out why, too--I got soooo depressed, which was scary because I'd never been depressed before in my life, so I went back on it for another year or so. I managed to wean myself off of it eventually but I got depressed again, although not as bad as the first time. Maybe my body just doesn't like that drug.
