"i have been on celexa for 2 months for depression, starting at 10 mg, then 20 mg, and now at 30 mg, which is a good dosage for my symptoms. in 2015 i spiraled into a dark depression which i never experienced before. it was a very lonely, empty hopeless feeling. i lost interest in everything i had previously enjoyed, and dreaded waking up in the morning. it went on for a year before i decided to try medication.  for the first 2 weeks on celexa, there was no change. then, the 3rd week i was able to cope with negative things so much better. by the 4th week, i slowly began to do things again. i am now back to my old self again, which is a great feeling! the only side effects are groggy mornings accompanied with intense yawning."
