I've been on Celexa for 8 - 9 years now. . Lately, I've been experiencing bad headaches and short term memory loss in which has been affecting my job performance at work. In addition, I gained over 50 pounds and I am having difficulty losing it. I tried getting off, but It's really hard because of years my body has become depend to it. The doctors stated that this drug was not addictive.I can't take any time off because, I am afraid to loose my job. The clinic I visit once a month changes doctors every six months and the most recent doctor told me that this medication should only be used on a temporarily basis. I am engaged to be married very soon and I am worried that this medication might cause any harm to my children.
