Celexa 11th day

[1jossy2]

First time on this mediaction 20mg on the 11th day...since day one of taking this mediaction I get on average 3-4 hrs of sleep every night...I know it takes time for the keds to work but someone please tell me this will get better because im discouraged and to he point I wanna toss them in the garbage. I feel rough. If been told it can take 3-6 weeks to work in your system but hoping I dont get crappy sleep for this long. I feel like giving up.

Sometimes drugs don't agree with you.  Don't know because you don't say just how bad your life is, as to whether taking drugs is even necessary at this point, but assuming it is, they all have their bad points.  It does take 4-6 weeks for most people to notice the effects they're looking for but side effects start right away.  Nobody can predict whether this will last or not, as these drugs affect different people differently.  Sometimes, a particular antidepressant can be so sedating you sleep all the time.  For others, they can be so stimulating they're anxious and have a hard time relaxing.  This is how different the same drug can be for different people.

It is hard to imagine getting a reaction on day 1, so are you sure nothing else happened to keep you awake so much? If you are taking it in the evening try switching to the morning.

This is a really good point I missed.  Were you by any chance scared of taking the med, so scared you started not sleeping on Day 1?

Also, did you start out on 20 from the beginning?
