Really Need Some Advice

[downandout1003]

Hey Yall,    I went to my SUBUTEX  Doctor today and asked him to give me an anti depressant.  He acted like he didnt really care to hear about what I was going thru or why I wanted the anti-depressant.  Anyway he gave me Celexa 40 mg. I got the generic brand filled which is called Citalopram.  I was just wondering if anyone here has ever taken this medicine ???   Especially if anyone has taken it while they were on Subutex.  I kinda got freaked out when I googled Celexa  (Citalopram)  Some people reported quite a few side effects that didnt sound so good.  
(  Nausea, Dry mouth, not being able to sleep at night but staying really groggy during the day. PLEASE if anyone knows anything about this anti depressant I really would love to hear your opinion.  THAnks & God Bless

Same here. My md told me it could take a month or two to feel the effects. Well after four months I still felt nothing. So we tried effexor and zoloft both for about 5-6 mos.

I ended up finding another doctor. This guy was old school and we went with Valium 10mg 3 times a day. That of course worked great and two months later I tapered off and got through my situation. I have found other ways to get in trouble but life is like that.

I'd say if you want to try celexa you should be ok but keep an eye on yourself and have you friends watch out for you and have them tell you if you start acting peculiar.

Take care and be well

I tried Celexa for a few months and noticed no difference in my mood/anxiety and did not experience any side effects. But, everyone is different. Almost EVERY medication lists all those side effects, because well everyone reacts differently. In my opinion start out with a smaller dose to see if it bothers you and if it doesnt after a few days you could increase it to the prescribed dose.
