Thanks to all who responded. I am still on the Celexa, going on 4 weeks now. After reading some of the posts about Celexa, now I am scared of the possible hair loss and weight gain. I am thinking of going back to Prozac, but it may be possible that it had "pooped out." What else might be good, that is not known to cause weight gain? I am beginning to wonder if a combo of meds might work for me, but have no idea which ones. My doctor is an MD. Should I be consulting a specialist about this drug treatment, or just ask my doctor to give me this and that??
Also, if I change back to Prozac, do I have go slowly off of Celexa, or can I just start the Prozac? Can Prozac and Celexa be mixed??
Thanks in advance!
Nanci

I think you should definitely be getting these answers from a psychopharmacologist, not a general practitioner.
I'm not privy to any posts that ran prior to this, but I'd give Celexa more than four weeks of your own experiences, without letting other people's postings of side effects scare you off.
