"i just started this medication about two weeks ago. i was having intense obsessive compulsive symptoms as well as the occasional suicidal thoughts. when i finally had the courage to express my suicidal thoughts, my doctor recommended that i take celexa 10mg once daily. so far, i am very pleased with it. i was on fluoxetine (prozac) for 4 years and it had some intense side effects. celexa works just as well as prozac with fewer side effects. only thing i&#039;ve noticed is it made me quite drowsy for the first few days, but i think that is over now so everything is great! i am much more positive, yet not hyper like i was on prozac."
