Celexa/citalopram

[navydoc2]

I take this medication at night for depression and anxiety but all it does is leave me feeling groggy and lethargic the next day like a bad hangover. Does anyone else who takes this med feel this way, how do you deal with it? Thanks.

Hi NavyDoc,

I take celexa (20 mg) and I experience the same side effects. I ran out in July and decided not to take it anymore. Long story short, I started taking it again in Sept. because I felt sad most of the time (off of it), tearful, out of it and extremely anxious. I take mine at night, also. When I first started taking it , I took it in the morning...not good. I take 6 pills at night and 11 (some are vitamins) in the morning. Since, I don't work, I take a nap most days.

Thats the catch 22 I'm in too I feel so much worse when I don't take it than when I do and I feel like I'm moving in drying concrete and my focus is horrible when I take it, but at least I'm not as depressed, it does nothing for my anxiety.

I take lexapro and lamictal.
