"i was on celexa 20 mg for depression. it helped great with my anxiety symptoms, but not well for depression. my doctor recommended i take it because i am on the anxious-side of depression, and it really helped with those symptoms - overthinking, freaking out over every little thing. my boyfriend told me i became a lot less intense and irritable. it did not help my loss of energy and fatigue and low-motivation and i still had suicidal thoughts. the first week i started on 10 mg and experienced no change or side-effects. i moved to 20 mg and it made me worse for about a week, then my anxiety symptoms got better. i am switching to bupropione because i need help with depression symptoms."
