If you're experiencing extreme weight gain while taking celexa, you're not alone. Weight gain is one of the most common side effects of celexa. And sometimes the weight gain becomes extreme.

The extreme celexa weight gain can most likely be attributed to two causes:

1. Celexa causes strong food cravings in some people who take it.

2. There's a very good chance that celexa has lowered your resting metabolic rate.

If you're eating more, then certainly some of the weight gain can be explained that way. But most people I've heard from swear they don't eat more. So that leaves only your metabolic rate as the most likely cause of weight gain.

Unfortunately, there's almost nothing you can do about it except to stop taking celexa. That's the conclusion I've come to after receiving numerous comments from celexa users. Their messages always start out the same:

"I've made no lifestyle changes and I'm gaining tons of weight."

• Some even say they're "working out like crazy" and it doesn't help a bit.
• Many say they've been thin their whole lives. Until they started celexa.
• Most say they lose the weight when they stop taking celexa. (A few don't.)

You already know that celexa is a powerful mood altering drug with dozens - if not hundreds - of side effects. And nobody even really knows how it works. The whole 'serotonin deficiency syndrome' is a theory. Not proven facts.

With so little honest information available, with so much unknown, is it any wonder that we have excessive celexa weight gain?

Don't fall into the trap of believing there's some other pill that will 'fix' the damage done by this one.

But whatever you do, DO NOT stop taking celexa without first consulting your doctor!

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

I almost feel guilty because my life has become so enjoyable and so easy. Especially since I remember how miserable I used to be.

Basically 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 in almost every way.
