Celexa

[azeman]

My friend takes "CELEXA". Does anyone have an opinion on that?

celexa generic citalopram and brand name cipram in the the eastern countries is produced by the same Danish company which produces cipralex/lexapro/escitalopram. In different forums one finds many pts using it. it's weaker than lexapro, exactly half its therapeutic dose in maximum and minimum. BP pts take wellbutrin, celexa, lexapro in the majority of the cases. A few take seroxat/paxil to go with lamictal. But my experience if you have unipolar depression then it';s OK BUT for BP you eventually will end up in mania. I tried all sorts of antidep[ressants you just name it. The only one i haven't tried is St John's Wart (natural herbs) but it is said also that it can bring mania.

BP pts take usually a mood stabilizer not an AD even if they have a bipolar depression.

Until now no cure is found as far as I know for this illness and possibly for the next decade to come

The wise thing is to keep a distance from antidepressants unless you take a mood stabilizer to go with

I was on celexa 2 years ago. I have a really bad record with any type of antidepressant, and like all the rest I ended up in the hospital as a result of it. Everyone is different, but that was my reaction to it.
