I've been on celexa 13 days now. Started on 10 mg. The doctor cut me down to 5 mg. For a week or 2. I take my meds in the am. I've been so anxious. Sometimes it does away in the afternoon to return in the pm. I have been having trouble falling asleep. And when I do get to sleep. I wake up a few hours later. Feeling anxious. Sometimes I get back to sleep sometimes I don't. I have back issues been going to the doctor trying to figure out what's going on. So when I can't sleep I wake up all tense. And my back pain is worse Whitch causes me to be more anxious. I hope this not sleeping thing will go away. I feel like a nervous wreck. I've tried meditation it helps some. Is this not sleeping and anxious stuff normal side effect?

    One thing that I was always looking for was success stories. You go through all the side effects and think you’re never gonna come out of the storm but I promise you, you do! It does get better!!

      Thank you for the encouragement. I sure do need it. Can't wait until I'm normal again.
