I am currently on celexa 20 mg. The passed few days I have noticed some increased anxiety and I have been very good on the celexa since I started it. Its not from my period because that just ended on the 7th. I have been increasingly tired through out the day. I am not sure if I need to adjust the dosage because I also started feeling the weird head stretching near my neck sort of like a weird head ache that lasts for 2 seconRAB, goes away and comes back. I also start to feel the anxiety in my stomach, and I feel like I am getting more acid reflux from it. I was also wondering.... I switched times and that may be an issue. I used to take it during the day, and it made me TOOOOO tired, then i started taking it at night, it helped, but I still felt tired during the day.... but I want to be able to go out and have a drink every once and a while and I am not sure how much space you should leave between the time you have One beer (or whatever) and taking your medication? Anyone able to help me please??!!
 
I have been taking Celexa 40mg for 10 years. It has helped me greatly. I like to take it at night. I used to take 20mg but doctor and I agreed that 40mg would be better since 20mg is not really a therapuetic dosage.

As far as drinking, I like beer as much as the next guy, but taking Celexa it's not the greatest thing to mix. I've noticed it will increase the affects of alcohol, and may cause black outs if you over do it. I never thought it was a good idea to mix a anti depressant with a depresant like alcohol.
Thats my onion.
