Shelley,

The thing you need to understand about antidepressants is that it may be a few weeks before you notice a change in your symptoms. Now is a time for you to take your medication as directed and be patient with yourself. Celexa is considered safe for people with liver problems.

I have to do something. I can't continue to live with this depression. Was considering paxil, decided to do celexa. Heard less intrusive on liver?

I have always been afraid of taking long term medication. I am now switching from paxil to citalopram and am courious to any health treatening issues.

Circa,

Any time you are considering taking medication, you need to weigh possible risks against the benefits of using them. You did the right thing by contacting your doctor right away and getting put on a different medication.

Yesterday I took my very 1st Paxil pill, it was only half a pill 10mg I took it at about 8 am and a few hours later the effects hit me, I was at work at I started feeling all paniky, I was putting stuff away in the wrong spot, i was having a hard time with grabbing stuff then I left work coudln't drive cause I was to shaky and had to go to my dr and she prescribed celxa for me. I personally do not recomend taking paxil myself but everyones body handles it differently and I would suggest if your job is dealing with public and you start taking anti anxiety pills take a couple days off so your body can get used to it.
