    Has anyone gained weight on Celexa?
    I've been on Celexa for 2 years and have gained 40 lbs. Has anyone else experienced this? Also, what are the withdrawal syptoms of Celexa?

    Celexa has very few withdrawal symptoms. As far as gaining weight is concerned... all antidepressants carry that risk.

    I am 23 and have been on Celexa for about a year. I have gained 20pds! At first I thought it may have been the food I was eating... but I started working out, than began running... Nothing is working... so about a month ago I decided to slowly come off it. As of last week I have stopped taking it completely. Now I guess I just have to wait and see.
