Maybe 40 mg. per day would help you more. Speak with your doctor,

Same thing happened with my wife. She would cry all of the time but, worse... She would get VERY angry over everything. Even the small stuff. She finally went back to her doc and he switched her to Zoloft. Let me tell you... Huge difference... She is feeling much better and more relaxed. Celexa just wasn't the right med for her.

Sounds like a good idea. There are many great medicines out there that will help. I know that it's hard going through this but, once you find the right one you will be glad that you went through it. It is definitely a learning experience. You can always email me if you feel you need to. Even just for positive help. I have been through it as well. I really hope that everything works out for you. Good luck!

Hi, Celexa takes 4 weeks (give or take) to work to it's optimum potential, so if you haven't been taking it for this long, it may need more time to take effect... If you have been taking the medication for a while you may need to talk with your doctor about an increase? Are you having counselling?

There is still room for another increase or adding another medication? I really think counselling/anger management sessions could help you

You may need to give it more time to work, 2-3 weeks minimum, also, it will not modify your behavior as much as you may be expecting it to, that takes a lot of time and work.

Well again, the anger issues more than likely run deeper or are linked to deeper issues in your life, past, present or even the future. The pursuit of a remedy is best served by a source you can trust and begin to get to the root causes, meds will only help with symptoms, not causes. If the cause isn't addressed, the symptoms may worsen, and even if they do not, the meds will be less effective.
