"i had severe depression when we moved from a house i loved in the country to a smaller house i hated by the river in a little suburb that i&#039;d always detested.  celexa works.  most definitely but it works too well.  after being on it for 11 years, i became emotionless.  i had no feelings either way.  it also helped me to put on 50  pounds.  at 61, i decided to stop it.  i weaned my self off by cutting the pills in half, then in quarters, then none.  the side effects are the worst of any medication i&#039;ve ever experienced....dizziness, severe depression, severe happiness, experiences in my head that i can only describe as &quot;zits&quot; that were instantaneous moments of dizziness or a feeling of a bug &quot;zipping&quot; by your head, fatigue, jitters."
