"i have suffered from anxiety/depression since i was a teenager. i have tried various medications, but i have never stayed on anything too long because they always made me feel like a zombie or the side effects were worse than the symptoms. celexa really gave me my life back. my racing thoughts and manic mood swings are long forgotten. i have never had any side effects while taking celexa, but when i stop taking it (i.e. waiting for refill prescription), i crash pretty hard. i can&#039;t sleep, have horrible restless leg syndrome (which i use to swear was made up), and anxiety 10 fold. other than that, its amazing, and it completely gives me back my normal self."
