I recently started taking celexa for my anxiety. It's really helped me but every time I take it for the first few hours I feel like I had just taken an adderall. I get a huge burst of energy and feel like doing something. I am on 10mg, does anyoNe else experience any kind of mood jump like this or am I just thinking it up?

It's been so long since trying Celexa but I don't remember ever getting a burst of energy. More likely I felt tired. I know it takes several weeks to fully work. I wish

you well in continuing your med. Might be best to run it by your doctor to see

what he says.

TBH you're lucky.

All I have five weeks in of taking Citalopram 10mg (the UK equivalent) is nausea and a complete lack of appetite.
