My doctor gave me Clexa for depression, it seemed to work great except I couldn't sleep that good, but when I found out I couldn't sleep on it, he gave me something else for the sleep. However, there was one side affect that was quite bothersome, I would wake up every morning with terrible dirrehea, was wondering if anyone out there has been on Celexa and wondered if anyone else had the same symptoms, and if you did experience the terrible dirrehea every morning, did it go away over time? This medicine really seemed to help, so hoping to find an answer saying "yes, I take it and yes, I had it but it went away) I know with alot of anti-depressants that some people have side affects and most of them go away after a little time, so if any of you have or still take Celexa, did you experience the dirrehea and did it go away over time?
Does anyone know about side effects of Celexa?

Hi - I'm wondering if your digestive issues might be caused by your sleep medication, and not the Celexa. If the Celexa is working for your depression, it would be much easier to try a different sleep aid than switching your depression meds. Not everyone responds to medications the same way, but I had very good luck using Tramadol as a sleep aid while on Celexa. You may also be experiencing digestive problems based on your dosage amounts. Make an appointment to talk with your doc, but as a short-term information solution I'd try chatting with your pharmacist. If you aren't seeing a psychiatrist it's not uncommon for pharmacists to be better informed about interactions and side-effects than a general practioner (regular doc).
Best of luck to you, and I hope you're feeling better soon.

Maso,
with all respect to you, I think that giving so much information could scare a person with drugs issues.
Please don't take offense

None taken whatsover my friend!
A bit much, with that said: people should be made aware of what the most popular side effects are but also made aware of what the most popular severe side effects are as well sp they know what to expect and what to look out for. Any one with access to a computer should look up the information about a drug before using it anyway... good practice will save you from problems later...
