I've been on celexa 5 days. It's really helping with anxiety and depression. The side effects I'm experiencing are dry mouth, no appetite, mild fatigue and diarrhea. How long before they subside?

      I have that pressure or heaviness in my head too and when I feel the anxiety its in my throat. From all I've read it seems this is normal for the first 6 weeks.
