Celexa
by qpm, Jul 03, 2009 11:17PM
I've been on many different meds in the past, including Celexa and was just prescribed it again. The problem is I really hate to start taking it for fear it will eventually stop working. I am also very overweight and I am concerned about weight gain. Also, it was prescribed to take in the morning, but since I do have some anxiety and suffer with sleep apnea I think is I do decide to take it, night time would probably be best. Any thoughts?

I've been on Celexa for quite sometime, and it continues to work very well. If it reaches a point where it doesn't, consult with your doctor, I'm sure there is an alternative. I haven't gained any weight and it's my understanding the weight gain is not a side effect of this drug. I recently lost 40 lbs. I would not take this at night without consulting with your doctor first.

I was prescribed Celexa by my GP due to an ongoing health issue causing anxiety and depression. I was told to take it right before bed. I'm not confident the med ever worked for me, but I haven't noticed any issues as it relates to taking it at night. mammo is right, however, you should call your Dr. just to let him/her know you would like to take it a night. Also, I have not seen weight gain with it either.
