Does celexa have side effects or withdrawal issues?
Patient: Hi looking for help for my 21 year old son, suffers from chronic anxiety and and now depression. has been for three years now I think medication is needed. I take paxil but wonder why people thinks it s bad for side effects. Does celexa have no side effects or withdrawal issues? Doctor: Hello,Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.Paxil is indeed a wonderful drug for both depression and anxiety. I use it as a first line in anxiety disorders. Celexa is also a good drug and like paxil it is also an SSRI acting on the serotonin receptors. It doesnt have significant side-effects and it needs to be withdrawn gradually. Like any SSRI both these drugs can cause nausea, vomiting etc. Hope I am able to answer your concerns.If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:bit.ly/dr-srikanth-reddy
