Celexa - no sleep with headache

[EonBlue]

So far I've been taking celexa for about over a month, I'm up to 20. It's actually been a fairly fortuitous choice for me....as in its worked out quite well. It's definitely numbed me a bit to the intensity of my negative moods. Surprisingly, it hasn't affected my sex drive at all.

The only thing I'm really concerned about is that, I take 20 mg in the morning, I fall asleep okay, usually around 9 or 10...but then ill wake up at like early in the morning with headaches(from tiredness or stress..) and just feel exhausted not rested. I won't be able to get back to sleep.

Des this wear off?
I'm going to switch to taking at night - I think it may have something to do with the window of metabolism. And I'm considering dropping down to 15 mg, or even 10. Thanks.

I was taking it at night, and no it does not wear off but your body will adjust to it. Maybe headaches are just side effects for now. You need to talk to doctor before you change the dose, it must be done gradually. After just one month of celexa, it is not working yet, it needs about 6-8 weeks to build up in blood stream.... I would not change the dose ...Please talk to doc first

I don't have the headache but i am feeling much the same as you.. I am on 20mg but was wanting to maybe lower my dose too...
