Hi everyone. I am on day 24 of Celexa (started at 5 mg, went up to 10 after a week). Mostly side effects have been yawning, lack of appetite, jaw clenching and some mood swings, but overal, I did get some relief from anxiety and even had a few days where I felt really happy and excited about life. Those days were great!

However, I was in a very high stress situation with my parents yesterday and it seemed like I suddenly fell right back into where I was before I started the meds. I cried most of the day and just felt devastated, lost my appetite, etc. The day before was great -- I felt positive and had a great appetite all day. This sounds like a blip.

Since it seems like the 10mg is working half the time, I feel like I should try to go up, but it's also only been three weeks and I know it can take six or more to feel the full effects. Anyone have advice? Also, what happened yesterday made me scared its not working. And I don't want to think that!
