How long do the harsh side effects of Celexa persist?
About 4 days ago I started taking Celexa for anxiety and depression, 20mg/day. The first day I felt no effects. Days 2 and 3 were great. The anxiety and depression seemed to just evaporate. Now I’m on day 4, and the medicine is still working, but a lot of side effects have kicked in, including nausea, vomiting (4 times this morning alone), diarrhea, dry mouth, excessive sweating, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes. How long do these effects usually persist? Should I just cease my dose? A: These doesn’t sound like side-effects from celexa. My guess is that the symptoms are not from the celexa, but that you’re sick for a totally unrelated reason. The big clue is the lymph nodes: this suggests some kind of infection. You could have food poisoning or something else. Best to call your doctor.
