8 days on Celexa feel So Tired! Zombie?

Wow ! So crazy everything you just said is exactly how I feel and I just increased my medication from 20 to 40 mg and I remember when I first started taking this medication I felt very similar but this time a bit more intense increasing the dose I hope it ends soon because my brain feels weird and fuzzy and like I’m drugged this medication actually helps me focus more and gave me
More energy so I’m
Hoping my body is just Adjusting to it and that’s why I’m so tired I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who feels this way because I’m actually freaking myself out

Laurie did a great job answering. Yes all of this is normal the first few weeks your body adjust to this medication, Then the full benefit of the blood leve, is anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks. Just remember if any of the side effects are to much for you. And yes there are many people that do real good on this medicine Good luck please keep plugging and know your not alone life well ge better. We are always here for you too.

I have been taking citalopram 10mg for about 2 months now, and I am so glad I went on it. I take half in the morning and then the other half 12 hours later, a whole 10mg at one time makes me feel funny and my pupils were huge. Try taking half and half and see if that helps .
Good luck I know it's hard

If the Celexa is too sedating you can take at night, just be sure to take about the same time every day. These side effects should subside soon so hang in there. This is a good medication for anxiety for some people as we are all different. It is a trial and error sort of ordeal finding the right med. Give this one time and remember it takes upwards of a month or so to feel max benefits.
