> > I am curious as to whether Celexa has caused stomach and intestinal trouble for anyone. I have been on it since Christmas and it does work well for me but I suffer from continious sour stomach, diarrhea or constipation. I did get an intestinal virus in December but I went to the doctor and it took two weeks but I was a lot better,then after about two more weeks I started having sour stomach again and that's where I am now. The only thing I have changed is to add the Celexa to my medicine regimen. My other drugs I have taken for long enough to eliminate them as the problem. I sure would appreciate hearing from anyone with the same problems. Thank you.
