@mikeinohio Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! It is true that sometimes the manufacturers of generics may use different "carrying agents" of the active ingredient. so they effects may not all be the same. I myself use Celexa, with no side issues. Some people experience weight gain with this medication, but I do not.

What does your prescribing doctor say about what you are seeing for side effects? Do they have any suggestions?

The side effects are basically it doesn’t work at all or I get extreme paranoia/jitters/bit of hallucinations. Not anything like weight change or dry mouth or such. Or at least I wouldn’t mind those comparatively. Have you had various generic manufacturers of the Celexa with limited difference?
