I have Anxiety and have been taking Celexa for about 4 days, i had a lot of Deja Vu before starting taking the pills...but now it seems it got worse (really worse) , i'm afraid i might go crazy or i'm already crazy. Is this just a symptom of anxiety or something not normal? I've also started getting some nose bleeds (about once a day) since i started taking Celexa. It's really scary and it triggers a panic attack...
Please tell me what you think before telling me to go to the doctor lol.

4 days isn't a very long time; that just seems too soon to know if the medication is working or not. Maybe give it another 3 or 4 days and see if you feel any better.
Have you told your doctor about the "deja vu?" It could definitely be related to anxiety--it sounds like it might be a dissociative symptom (feeling like your mind is outside of your body, feeling "unreal", or like you are a different person--it's hard to describe, but deju vu can be something like that).
A nosebleed four days in a row? Did this ever happen to you before? (Sorry, I didn't mean to make a deja vu joke). I never heard of that being a side effect of a medication; but I guess it's possible.
Maybe try to put up with it for a few more days and call your doctor if it doesn't get any better. Go ahead and call your doctor sooner if you absolutely can't stand it.

Deja Vu is your brain playing a trick kind of like a real quick instant replay thus giving the feeling you have done something before. There are many causes for this and the doc should be able to run down the list of causes.

I have read things on the internet about Deja Vu being part of a seizure - in epilepsy. Not saying that that is what it is, but maybe read up on it abit?? Maybe if your brain is shorting out from time to time is what is causing the anxiety too, not to mention getting freaked out every time you wonder if you have done this before - I feel for you - good luck

I started taking Celexa about 5 weeks ago and I haven't experienced anything like that, and I haven't read about it being a side-effect. 4 days isn't a lot of time for it to build up in your body to work effectively. BUT
You need to speak to your doctor as soon as you can and simply tell him what's going on with you.
