No one has answered the question, "will 20mc citalopram cause weight gain?" I have had no other side effects.

My brother was put on this med and we will be hiring a lawyer. My older brother committed suicide last Sunday and we think it's because of the citalopram 20mg he was on for almost 2 months as he was never suicidal EVER. GUYS BEWARE! RIP PDK...

I had been on Celexa before. I am Bipolar. I don't member how I got off but my dr works with me. I am on 75 my of EFFEXOR N 40 MG OF CELEXA. I break it in half. One for am and one for pm. Effexor is a 24 HR pill. And this way CELEXA is too. I have been diagnosed since 1994. Have had all kinds of cocktails. I like this one very much. EFFEXOR is BIG BROTHER FOR ANXIETY AND panic, but I need an antidepressant too. I am thinking, just perhaps, my reactions cud be in conjunction, with weaning off, too quickly, off one. It has to be gradual, and at same time easing into CELEXA. Many psych drs don't tell us that, there are DRS, and psychiatrists. I NEVER LET A MEDICAL DR. GIVE ME PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS!!! They try, I but DO NOT know what to do. With heartfelt sympathy.

They just replaced my Lexapro 10 milg, to the same drug Citalopram 20 mills. They told me it was the generic to Lexapro. Wrong!! I took this med, and the next day felt like a zombie. Nothing like Lexapro, and I won't take it again. Now my doc has to fight to put me back on my Lexapro. I feel this is rediculous to just change someones meds, saying its a generic, and having these horrible effects.

I have GAD pretty bad, along with alcoholism. I'm 23. They put me on Klonopin, and then Zoloft, in which I had one of those rare reactions where I went totally out of control and cut my arm. They toom me off immediately, and put my on a very small dose of Lexapro, like half of a pill that comes in the sample package. I had a complete loss of appetite and went from a normal 115 for a 5'2 girl, to almost 99 pounds, in just two weeks, my side effect to lexapro was basically anorexia and I didnt even know. Now I'm on a slightly higher dose of klonopin (doesnt help much) and Citalopram HBR 20 mg, aka, generic for Celexa. All I've noticed is it makes me drowsy, but I am only allowed to take it at night. My appetite has also returned. As of right now, I am having a random rage attack, where I feel extremely angry. I dont know if I should take another one, but the thing is I dont think I have any depression, and this is supposed to only help my GAD, but why perscribed the anti-depressant? I feel a weird slight headache everytime I take one, and I'm starting to feel like I'm wasting my time, and will end up being like 30 and stuck on all these. I'm 23. I'm starting not to buy into any of these meds.

I suffer from panic and anxiety attacks and have been taking xanax 1 mg three times a day, Also I have a terrible time sleeping so my doctor put me on 150 mg of seroquel at bedtime. Now my doctor has placed me on Citalopram 20mg in the morning saying that I have built up a tolerance to the xanax. Today was the first time i took the Citalopram and I can't even explain how sick and terrible i feel, I can't understand why he changed things up when all seemed fine with me.

Since I switched from Lexpro to citalopram hbr I am exhaustd. I have no energy. I'm having my Dr. switch me back. I did gain weight with Lexapro, did anyone else?

I am going to start taking citalopram nbr (20mg) because my Dr. said that this was less likely to cause gain weight (than Lexapro) but I left his office with a Lexapro startup kit and I like it so far, but since my doc even mentioned this other one can even help you lose weight, if you have a high enough dose I want to see if this is the same and I get the added bonus of taking off this new baby weight. I'll try to remember to come back and report how it's going...I hope I'm like that one guy that likes it!
