Has anyone taken celexa and experienced side-effects?

Question:

If so, how long did they last? I mean, two weeks or whatever, or are you still experiencing those side-effects now?
Also what dosage are you on?
(I'm on 20mg)

Answers:
When I took Celexa, I found myself to be very carefree. Too carefree! I was doing things that normal people wouldn't do. I stopped taking it after six months.

I was on 20 mg as well.

Other Answers:
I took it and it literally made me crazy- i started fantasizing about mutilating friends. I wasn't angry and had no intention of doing it just random horror movie-esque thoughts would pop into my head of things i could do to them. I stopped taking it and read the little insert from the pharmacist and it said it can cause mania in about 2% of people. thanks for telling me that doc!

Good luck with the anxiety disorder

My sister took it and had very carefree feelings as well. She did things that were very abnormal for her, such as kissing another guy in front of her boyfriend, and then punching her boyfriend in the face.

I, on the other hand, have been taking it regularly for over two years and have not have any significant side effects.
