    get it check but the possibility of side effects of the celexa is very real.i had small tiny sores in my mouth and it was a side effect of the celexa.canker sores look like thrush .and canker sores is a side effect of celexa.

      how do you know it's a side effect? I've had this thing on my toungue since before being on celexa. the past couple weeks I was doing well. recently I've been sweating, appetite is down again but I look healthy to everyone. i don't know if its the medication or my anxiety.

      Because canker sores are a side effect of celexa it says said on the leaflet.

      i hate to get personal .you should get an std test also.canker sores are side effects of celexa but not white coating .specially since you had it before celexa.
