What to Expect from Celexa
You may start to feel relief from some symptoms, such as depressed mood, after taking Celexa for only one week. Most people can expect to feel the full benefits of Celexa in four weeks. It is important to continue taking Celexa even if you begin to feel relief from your depression. Be patient. You didn't suddenly become depressed, and full recovery takes time. Your doctor may ask you to keep taking Celexa long after your depression has been relieved, to help keep it from coming back.
To get the most out of Celexa, always take your medication exactly as prescribed by your physician. Be sure to talk to your doctor promptly if you have any side effects when taking Celexa. A simple adjustment in dosage may be all that is required.
Celexa is well tolerated by many people. The most frequent side effects reported with Celexa are nausea, dry mouth, drowsiness, insomnia, increased sweating, tremor, diarrhea, and problems with ejaculation.
People taking Celexa generally do not suffer from insomnia, agitation, nervousness, or anxiety any more than people not taking Celexa. Furthermore,
Celexa has not been associated with clinically significant weight changes.
I've just been diagnosed with depression. What does that mean?
Depression can be caused by an imbalance of chemicals in your brain. In some people, depression can also be caused by stress, medication, or other medical illnesses. Certain personality traits and family history can also contribute to depression. Depression is not a sign of personal weakness. You just can't "snap out of it."

Everybody gets sad sometimes. Won't depression go away on its own?
No, depression needs to be treated. When depression is not treated, episodes can last for 6 months to 2 years. In fact, more than 50% of people who have experienced at least one episode of depression will eventually experience another. Therefore, to get well and stay well, you need treatment, which is why your doctor prescribed Celexa.
