> Ok, I just started Celexa a week ago for mild depression, anxiety, and ruminating (worry), and I was wondering if it is normal to have SO many side effects so quickly and so frequently. I have never taken a drug like this before.....
>
> blurred/tunnel vision, visual disturbances (flashes of light), night sweats, upset stomach, NAUSEA, jumpy, shaky, uncontrollable bursts of energy where I have to move a lot or talk a lot, mild fever at night, and just an overall feeling like I'm walking around in some sort of dream.

> I am on 20mg a day and take it in the morningss per advice of my doc so as not to interfere with my sleep. Any advice or comments would be appreciated.I've been on 20 mg of Celexa for four months now. The first two - three weeks side effects were a bitch (esp the first week). After that the they really diminished to almost nothing except a small decrease in libido. It seems to be working fine on a day to day level although I've had a bad day or two, but far fewer than I had before.
