It really depends on the person. Everyone is diffrent. A usual time period for SSRI's to "kick" in/work for people is about a few weeks. Most people see a change within 30 days. However this is not true for everyone. Lexapro the relative of celexa seems to kick in faster than most other SSRI's, but for all others I would say 2-3 weeks depending on the dose and particular patient.

may have been placebo, but i felt better very quickly with low dose celexa.

I found Celexa to numb feeling, more than it lifted them.   I had to stop taking it because I turned into an icequeen and couldn't feel any emotions.

That kind of symptoms are you having that you are on celexa for?  My daughter has physical pain that they say is being caused by depression/anxiety.  She has been on Celexa for 4 weeks, on a dosage that ramped up from 10 mg to 40 .  She has been on 40 mg for about 2 weeks now and is not any better.

one more question.... is it possible that 40 mg could be not as good as 20 mg?  Because a few weeks ago before going up to 40 she seemed to be doing a little better.
