Hello I just started the SSRI Celexa yesterday. I took Prozac many years ago when it first came out. I hear Remeron is helpful for sleeping and may have to ask my doctor for it eventually. But even though it’s not the exact same medication we are both newbies on these particular SSRI medications. I have high hopes for mine I’ve been suffering terribly from depression and panic. I think I may feel a little calmer as well on the second day of Celexa.

I felt very unsettled on Citalopram (generic Celexa) at first. My doctor started me at 40 mg, which was too much for me. I cut the pill in half and still felt weird for about 2 weeks. I got the true effect after about 4 weeks. I continued to take 20 mg for 6 months and felt very good. At that time my doctor prescribed the full 40 mg. I didn't really feel any better at 40 mg, but I take it anyway. I feel like it saved my life and gave me the freedom to really live finally. No more unfounded fears and panic attacks. I'm happy.

Hi,
I took a DNA test to see what meds would be good and not good and Celexa unfortunately is in the not good category! I needed a more calming antidepressant than Trintellix. That was more stimulating. Yes the remeron definitely helps me sleep, that’s why it is prescribed at night. I do feel more mellow in the past 3 days than I have felt in the past 3 months! I am hopeful as well!!
