"i was hesitant for years to ever be put on medicine for anxiety/depression, but once it had significantly gotten worst into my &quot;adult&quot; years (mid-20&#039;s), i decided it was time. i cannot say enough amazing things about celexa. i have been on it for a little over two weeks (10 mg starting out and now 20mg) and wow. my only regret is that i didn&#039;t get put on this way sooner! my emotional state is so much better, i am rarely irritated, and i can deal with everything so much better without going absolutely crazy. it&#039;s truly amazing. i did have side effects at first- headache, light-headedness, going to the bathroom a lot, stomach upset, lump in my throat, clinching my jaw, but it was worth all that once i got past it!"
