Celexa Side Effects

Of the six selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRI's, that are currently available in the United States, celexa does seem to have the fewest side effects. Paxil, for example, has more than three times as many side effects as celexa.

Just because there are fewer side effects from celexa doesn't mean they are less painful.

A migraine headache is still a migraine headache, whether it is caused by celexa, paxil, zoloft, or any other antidepressant. Sexual dysfunction is still sexual dysfunction. Nausea is still nausea. These are just a few of the celexa side effects.

The Celexa Side Effects

If you do choose celexa, here are the side effects other people have experienced:

It's easy to 'gloss over' this list of celexa side effects, unless you're the one experiencing them.

Like reading in the newspaper, "Four People Die in Crash" - it doesn't mean much unless you knew one of those four people.

Then it's devistating.

It's the same here. 'Attempted suicide' doesn't mean much unless you're the one who wants to die. (A celexa side effect.)

'Insomnia' is just a word, unless you're the one who stays up night after night, in worry and anguish. (Another celexa side effect.)

'Agitation' has no impact, unless you're the one screaming at your kids everyday. Then it has impact. (Yet another celexa side effect.)

And what about 'vomiting' or 'impotence ' or 'painful menstruation'?

They're all celexa side effects.

What about 'migraine'? How much emotional pain must a person be in - to put up with this kind of abuse? Don't tell me. I know. I was there.

It's also important to understand the underlying causes that would lead you to such a painful place.

Are you satisfied with your life right now? I almost feel guilty as my life has become so easy... when I used to be so miserable.

It comes down to making one slight shift in what you do everyday, and you can watch in amazement as your life slowly begins to start working out. It's such an important change that I've written a complete e-book about it.

And I'd like to give you a copy for free.
