It mentions Celexa to be helpful. But after doing a search, it doesn't seem like too many people are on it. Lexapro seems more popular.
Do you think since Lexapro is a newer version of Celexa it would have the same benefits?
Is anyone with C taking it? I fear it will increase the C and also read (on another board) that it causes insomnia.
Can anyone offer any feedback?

I was on Celexa for a short time and found relief within days of taking it. I had to stop because of pregnancy, but will try again after my baby is born.

I have been on Celexa for quite a while but have never had any insomnia. There are a number of side effects listed in the pamphlet I received from the pharmacy however, I have had none worth noting. Hope that helps.

I took celexa and had a miserable reaction to it. Apparently my IBS made me very suceptable to its side effects. After experimenting with many SSRI's it was deemed that my body could not tolerate it. I am now taking Noratryptaline and the tummy fiber, and have finallygot my symptoms under control.

Hi, I know a few people on Celexa for anxiety and depression and they say it works wonders for them with minimal side effects. Probably a personal thing.
