Scared Of Meds

Updated

I have been prescribed celexa 20mg .after I had bad anxiety on effexor xr .i dont like taking meds as it is. I was wondering if I should expect the same reaction to celexa as effexor .i know everyone is different and IV read good and bad reviews on celexa.

Hello, Denise! How are you?

Celexa contains the active ingredient Citalopram, which is an SSRi antidepressant, so it's in a different class than the Effexor was, it was an SNRI.

Anxiety can sometimes worsen for the first 3 weeks, while your body is adjusting to the medication, but it should improve after that. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and weight changes.

Is there anything else I can help with?
