Hello,
My doctor just switched me from Prozac 60mg/day to Celexa 40mg/day. I have yet to switch over (have a few days left on the Prozac) but will be starting next week.
I'm looking for feedback, and other people I refer to as "drug buddies" -- those who have experience with Prozac and Celexa, or even just Celexa. I want to know what to expect and want to be able to share my experiences in order to help others.
I will keep you all posted, and I look forward to speaking with some of you!
(I'm a 21yo male, FYI. Not that it matters, but... :) )

Thanks for the info. My main concerns: effectiveness in keeping my depression at bay, sexual side effects, weight gain, problems sleeping, constant drowsiness, and excessive sweating. These were all MAJOR problems with Prozac. I'm hoping at least some of these side effects will subside with Celexa. Anyone have any first-hand experience?
Jeff
