Celexa stopped working, need advice

I’ve been taking Celexa since 2019 and I honestly feel it has completely stopped working. My doctor and therapist keep getting me to hold off on a medication change because of how hard it is to switch over. Have you guys been through this? How was the change? It was very hard to find a medication that worked for me and it sucks it has stopped working.

Thanks guys! I made an appointment for a medication switch on the 25th so I’m hoping it’s a smooth ride.

Same here Hurricane, my psychiatrist had me switch from Lexapro to Celexa right away once I described what symptoms were bothering me. The only reason it was this easy for me though is because the medications have very similar chemical makeups

Seems weird that they're holding off on switching. I told my psychiatrist that I thought the lexapro i had been taking was causing weight gain and she and i made a plan to get off it that day. At the end of the day its your body and if you wanna switch out, your doctors should be helping you with thar
