"i&#039;ve been on 10mg celexa for over 11 weeks. started on 10 mg for a week  then 20 mg for a week. side effects on 20 mg: headaches, confusion, constipation. now on 10 mg for the balance of celexa experience. i weigh 162 (lost 5 lbs.) and am 71 yrs.
i stopped alcohol (2-3 oz. per night 7 days a week); which may have caused some side effects with the 20 mg and not the cause of celexa. i still have some headaches, constipation and that&#039;s it on side effects.
my depression (clinically defined as down, sleep 10  hrs., not much interest in life, more) has lifted. i may continue to use celexa and no alcohol for life, as i have been depressed numerous times. i was primary health caretaker for my chronically ill wife for 11 yrs. she died 12-10-10."
