"i&#039;ve taken this medication for about 3:years now. back when i was diagnosed with major depression one of the first medications i tried was celexa. it helped me out of a very bad place. like every medication it has its side effects, but compared to other medications they are minimal. this medication, along with exercise and a healthy diet, helped turn my life around. there are no side effects worth mentioning besides mind drowsiness and a lack of energy on higher doses. if you feel stuck i would highly recommend celexa your first choice for meds"
