My Dr. prescribed me both and I have been on the phentermine approximately a week. I have had really poor anxiety and depression for years. Will the celexa make me feel better? Will i still lose weight because, I've heard celexa makes you increase weight? What are your experiences with these medications?
I took Celexa (for depression and anxiety) for approximately seven months final year, and it sort of worked. At first, it did make me gain weight (my appetite increased a lot and I was always eating), and for the final few months, it made me sick (throw up). Well, I'm pretty certain it was the Celexa making me sick. As for helping with the anxiety and depression, it helped some, but I still felt it. Although I didn't really shake anymore when I was nervous. And it made me feel fake happy/calm. Maybe it was just me though.
All of this probably depends on person to person, but I didn't like it.
Edit: As Danielle said, it also made me very tired.
I was on celexa for a while for anxiety and panic attacks and honestly it didn't help me at all. It just made me super tired. I didn't increase any weight from it though. the thing with celexa is it.only helps serotonine levels not norepinephrine. people with anxiety lack both of those chemicals but more so norepinephrine. Serotnine is what depressed people lack. just because it didn't work for me doesn't intend it won't work for you so go ahead and try it but generally people like us with anxiety need a medication that helps both chemicals. sorry I don't know anything approximately the other medicine. but hope I helped a little! Good luck'
Those 2 drugs combined. Interesting. My sister took phentermine years ago to lose weight. She lost a lot of weight real fast but shes aid she felt funny on the drug. I know nothing about celexa. Why don't you try googling it?
