I’ve been on Celexa about 7 months. I don’t have any serious side effects and my anxiety has lessened.

I can’t find any good research on Celexa long term use. Most things I have found say that it is generally safe or that it is unclear. I did read that it may increase risk for Parkinson’s, but I’m not sure how substantiated it is.

My doc wants me to stay on for a year before thinking about tapering off. If there are serious negative effects then what is the benefit of quitting? Does anyone have any good info in the long term effects of Celexa?
