Best time of day to take Celexa?

[Drewper]

Hello, I was recently prescribed Celexa 20mg.  I wanted to wait until after Thanksgiving to start this med.  I also take 30mg/day of Adderall (1/2 tablet twice daily) and 10mg of Valium twice daily.  I've tried other anti-depressants but always stopped taking them because of the side effects.  They just made me feel weird and anxious.  This time, however, I am determined to continue the Celexa until I see benefits.  My main question is what's the best time of day to take Celexa?  I sleep very well now due to the Adderall.  So I don't want to mess that up.  I know I should've asked my doctor, but I forgot.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Take it as your doctor prescribed it, and if in doubt contact him about this.  You are taking multiple medications and he knows your health history, so it's best to work closely with him on this.  We all respond differently to these types of medications, and what one experiences may not be what another does.  I take Celexa and Klonopin with excellent results.  There is a period of adjustment when starting an antidepressant, and it takes 4-6 weeks to feel the full benefit of it.  Hope this helps and take care!
