how long do celexa side effects last

So today my Celexa dose was upped from half a pill to 1 whole pill and the side effects are coming back like when I first started... Sweaty, can't sleep, headache, stiff neck, clenching teeth... Etc. I don't know what to do. I tried taking stuff for it, including an Oxy but still no change. What can I take to make these side effects not so bad? I don't see the dr till Thursday, so I can't ask her... If anyone has any suggestions?

My last Celexa dose was last Wednesday and this is Wednesday, a week later. The side effects of the drug continue as before. I am not having the electric zaps which are apparently a withdrawal symptom. Instead, I have just continued to feel the same side effects as when I was taking the drug. Not as bad but still pretty uncomfortable. Ironically, my insomnia is gone and I'm am sleeping well now. Has anyone out there experienced this with such a short course of Celexa (Citalapram)?

I will do that it seems the higher dose has created this and I'm not on anything else.

Did you taper off the vibryd or quit abruptly? You can't just switch from one medication to another even in the same class and avoid withdrawal -- these meds are not easy to stop taking and it must be done carefully. Unless you completely stop taking a medication before starting another it's impossible to tell if your symptoms are a sign you're suffering withdrawal and quit too quickly or are side effects of the new medication.

Do you think it wise bringing a baby/ child into that environment? It's a hard call and one only you (?and your husband, partner, so) can make in consultation with your own doctor. I knew someone in a similar situation and she tried to harm her fetus while pregnant and later her daughter attempted suicide (due to the environment the mother raised her in). Are you in therapy to help address the anxiety?

Has anybody gotten a stuffy head and "funny feeling" eyes as a side effect from SSRI's. I have had these side effects before but they went away after a month or so. I'm on Celexa and this stuffy feeling(like you are coming down with a cold) seems to be sticking with me. The med is working well except for this uncomfortable feeling in and around my eyes.

any advice...andbody out there have harsh side effects but who stuck it through (and had Celexa end up working for them?

re suffering withdrawal from the wellbutrin, or side effects from Celexa. Quitting an antidepressant abruptly is not advised -- although wellbutrin isn't one of the worst for withdrawal, they can all be difficult to stop taking and usually are tapered off. This is especially true when switching to a med in a completely class.

has told me to reduce it to 20 mg. I was wondering if there would be any side effects that I should know about while adjusting to the smaller dose?

However currently I seem to get shaky as the day goes on, some days are worse than others. How long is this going to last, is there preventative measures I can take? I currently take Celexa for depression but I was shaky before this and the doctor recommended that I increase my dose but it hasn't had any effect on the shaking. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Hey, I'm not sweating heaps..I've just noticed it is more than I usually do.. but then again it has been humid here.. so who knows.. Argh..I'm supposed to be going up to 25mgs but its so hard to up it when I know there's a good chance my anxiety will increase! (I'm on @18mgs now) I can feel that these help me.. and my husband can notice a difference.. its just so scary for me..I've read some pretty horrific things that have happened to people when upping doses.. etc..

My Dr. has recently prescribed me 10mg of Celexa for anxiety which has once again sprung up out of nowhere after 2 years anxiety free. I was reading the side effects (the possibility of not breathing, palpatations etc). I'm just wondering how likely side effects are on such a small dose? Many thanks!

I used to be on prozac for severe anxiety and panic disorder, but stopped due to the side effects. I have been on celexa now for 3 days, and usually by now I would feel some side effects and I don't, which is good! I am still anxious right now, but I believe it is because I always get nervous about taking medications. I am one of those people who is convinced I will have a bad reaction to anything I take, so I know I need to just stick it out.

I have done some research and have found nothing good about this drug. She has all side effects. She is on day 1 with NO geodon.

m afraid of the side effects that may come with it. Will this medication give me the same side effects as the Celexa did?

I have been taking 20 mg Celexa for 5 years, & have decided to stop taking it. My question is how long do the side effects last? I have stopped cold turkey & have been experiencing head rush like feelings & some lip numbness, each only lasting a few seconds. How long will this continue?

But I will tell you that Lexapro and Celexa are far more known for the sweating problem than Zoloft is -- it is one of the more common side effects of both Celexa and even more with Lexapro, and I got it from both of them.

This is a very old thread, and as you can see, it doesn't generate a lot of replies because most people skip over the older threads. Please start your own thread, using this link: http://www.medhelp.org/posts/new_with_new_subject?forum_id=71 Thanks!

t have any panic attacks at all when I was on it, and no depression. The side-effects were very mild for me (compared to the side-effects I had with Prozac), and they only lasted a week or two. I stopped the Lexapro about 6 months ago because I really felt like I didn't need it. Then about 5 weeks ago I had a nervous breakdown (depression and panic), so I'm back on the Lexapro. I noticed a difference in 2-3 weeks, but the full effect can take up to 3 months to be felt.

t know if I should get off celexa or just deal with these side affects.2 years ago I was on 10 mg of celexa along with. 05 of Xanax. and never had this kinda problems.
