Will I gain weight on Celexa?
<< Can anxiety cause flip flops or rushes in your stomach area? Why am I such a spaz? Is it the anxiety disorder? >>
I have General anxiety disorder and Social anxiety disorder. I’ve never taken any anti-depressants before, but yesterday my doctor prescribed me Citalophram or whatever, which is Celexa.
He’s starting me on half a pill a day, which is 10mgs. Will I gain weight? I’ve read stories on here of people gaining 20-90 pounds, which is ridiculous. I’m scared of taking it because I don’t want to gain weight.

My doctor recommended I go into a residential treatment facility for social anxiety disorder for several weeks. She didn’t really know where was good though. I was wondering if there were any really good treatment places for it in the U.S.

no way. not 20 to 90 lbs!!!
You can gain weight on any med, or ssri’s …
you can ALSO lose weight at well, depends on person, the anxiety will make you gain weight itself, just from the stress, so dont worry about it,i have several clients on celexa, none have gained weight.

It really depends on the person. I’ve been on medications like that were they’ve said I’ll gain weight, and I end up losing weight. The only thing you can do is to watch your weight and if you do start to, stop taking it. Or do what I do, make them find you a medicine that is weight neutral. Or ask for prozac which treats those and also doesn’t make you gain weight.

it all depends on the person , i took it for about 6-8 months and maybe put on about 10 pounds … i now take clonazepam for anxiety and cant say that i have gained any weight . As long as you excercise and eat healthy you should be okay… good luck…

i used to take celexa 4 years ago… i tried to commit suicide while i was on it..
i really recommend not taking any anti depressants as they are really bad for u.. they mess you up.
once u start taking them it gives u this high.. a high of happiness.. u get addicted to this high
and if u think ur ok and want to get off of them.. ur body will literallly shut down..
i tried to go off of them and i couldnt sleep.. i literally could not sleep
i couldnt focus/concentrate.. i was geting straight A’s during mid terms and by finals i failed all my courses because i simsply coudnt do anyting
i couldnt eat
and then i started drinking so i can pass out n sleep
and athen i got addicted to alchol and anti depressants…
taking these 2 together can basicaly kill u.. i ended up in the hospital more that semester then i ever did my whole entire life.. it is very hard to try to get off of them..
u shud talk to councellors or a therapist instead n find another means of handling ur anxiety.. working out is great.. i used to have horrible panic attacks but sincei ve started working out i stopped getting them…
pleaseeee dont take anti depreesants
i watched my life fall so bad within 1 year i went from having everyting to having nothing.. no school no job, no family… geting pregnant.. having an abortion. which i now regret.. and getting arrested for stupidness i did..
and now i cant get a good job untill i get my pardon.
it took me all that before i realized how bad these anti depressants are.. ive been off of trhem for 4 years now and i feel great
i graduate from my program in pharmaceutical chem analyst in dec 2008.. yet i stil have to wait to get my pardon takin care of to get a job

I didn’t gain any weight when i was on it, and it really helped,but i couldn’t have any orgasms either. Strange side effect huh? Not on it any more lifestyles changes helped drastically! Good luck! The answer above me said working out helped her. I agree 1000 percent it works better than Any antidepressents! For me It’s running.
November 14, 2009 - 7:09 am
i take the same pill, i have not gain weight. i dont even get hungary, and that is something for me.
