Has anyone taken celexa (Citalopram) for depression? My doctor prescribed it to me and I’m scared to take any kind of medicine but feel like I need help 😭

I did! I actually liked it a lot but it made me dead to the world and I wouldn’t hear my baby cry at night. I’m on Wellbutrin 300mg now and take it during the day don’t cause drowsiness

do you remember what dosage they started you at on Celexa? That petrifies me 😥😥

I’m not on celexa but I am on Zoloft. I came off my medication when I became pregnant then 3rd trimester hit and I started having such bad panic attacks. I was afraid to take something like you because I am pregnant but my mental health was declining and I need to be ok for when baby gets here.

I take it and I love it :)

I think only 5mg but anything that says may cause drowsiness knocks me out

Yup! It helps a lot

Didn’t do anything for me, trying sertraline now

Didn’t like it, took it since 15 only got off it 2 years ago because the withdrawal is so hard on it and it petrified me. I wouldn’t even start on it. I take sertraline now, much better and doesn’t make me feel loopy.
