"celexa is a literally a magic pill, for me. 20 minutes, tops &amp; i feel like myself again. i&#039;ve been taking it for about 4 years for 1 or 2 months a couple of times a year. the holidays are always bad. i get so sick of crying all the time. sobbing, actually. i&#039;ve tried a few other antidepressants but nothing works like celexa. for me. may not be for everyone. other people may need to take celexa for a longer or more regular period of time &amp; it can take up to 2-3 weeks for the medication to completely work, for a lot of people. ask your doctor &amp; give it a try."
