hi, I've been on celexa 15mg for about a week now and I feel its been helping. i was on 10 mg for about 6 weeks and then my anxiety went back up so I upped my dose. i have been up and down with nausea and fatigue, gets better as the day goes by. my psychiatrist says its my anxiety, but I feel it could be the medicine since I have been feeling pretty calm. muscles still feel weaker with less energy and appetite is not where it used to be. i know this stuff takes a few months for recovery, but wanted to see what you guys think. had blood tests and everything is normal.

      i have depression and anxiety, so my fatigue could be part of that too. last time I was on celexa it took me about 6 months to recover on 20mg. don't remember having this nauseau though.

    Hi William, it sounds like they are working for you and you are doing great. These can affect people differently, so alot of patience is needed, hang in there. If you can keep your anxiety at bay it helps alot with the other side effects, that is what I experienced.
