Are there different side effects than the others?

These SSRI meds are really light in side effect, for me weight gain and sweating were side effects but they gave me my normal life back

@platocd No I appreciate all the advice. Anything helps. 5 pounds isn't bad at all.

@Kls2121 I Gained really a Lot 40 Lbs, but it really increases your hunger, and in addition when you feel depressed with anxiety, you tend to eat tasty unhealthy food to have a good feeling, really emotional eating, Since i changed to intermittent fasting i easily lost the weight again

@Shabax Sorry just saw this. At least you lost the weight. Good for you. And if the meds work than even better. I really don't want to gain weight but I really want to feel better.

Oh my gosh. I just got switched to this from Celexa. I took my second dose last night. My doctor told me to take it at night, but both nights Iāve had a panic attack a couple hours after taking it. Iām feeling a bit better during the day though. Last nights anxiety attack wasnāt as bad as the first. Iām hoping my body is just adjusting. How are you feeling? Glad to know Iām not alone.

@Kls2121 Celexa. It maxes out at 40 mg & I think I needed to be on something more. I had been on Celexa for over 5 years. It was only the second medication that I tried, but my new physician thought this would work better for me.

I feel fine so far which is great, Iām still on 50mg but can up it to 100 in another day or so and fingers crossed I carry on feeling okay š¤š» and that it helps my OCD, itās the first time Iāve ever been prescribed anything for it
