i was on it for over a year, it worked great and then it just stopped working for me and i changed to effexor. my sister on the other hand tried it and gave her diarrhea so it all depends on the person. you really need to discuss it with your doctor though.

While LEXAPRO is well tolerated by most people, it is important to keep in mind that medicines can affect each person differently. Some may experience no or very minor side effects, while others may find the drug more difficult to tolerate. Most of the side effects experienced by patients taking LEXAPRO are mild to moderate and go away with continued treatment, and usually do not cause patients to stop taking LEXAPRO.
The most common adverse events reported with LEXAPRO vs placebo (approximately 5% or greater and approximately 2X placebo) were nausea, insomnia, ejaculation disorder, somnolence, increased sweating, fatigue, decreased libido, and anorgasmia.
Less common side effects have also been reported and may include a variety of very rare side effects. Check with your doctor if you develop any new or unusual symptoms.
If you experience any of the following side effects, continue taking LEXAPRO and talk to your doctor:
headache, nervousness, or anxiety
nausea, diarrhea, dry mouth, or changes in appetite or weight
sleepiness or insomnia
decreased sex drive, impotence, or difficulty having an orgasm
Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. For a list of side effects, see the LEXAPRO package insert. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.

Go out on the web and do a search for side effects of Lexapro and then a search for side effects of Celexa. Why should someone else be doing your web searches for you??

Lexapro can cause lack of sex drive, dry mouth, vomiting, head aches, but in all honesty it is real rare. Celexa, I have no clue about.
