Antidepressants: It might work the same if yo go back to it. Some people do not respond the same when they go back on a medication that they used to take.

Data not available: The only ssri for which we have such data is prozac (fluoxetine). If a person has been on Prozac (fluoxetine) and it failed to work and they stopped it, then there was a 90% chance of it working when it was readministered. That type of data are not available for celexa. Having said that however i suspect that it is likely the same case for the other ssri's based on my clinical experience. Best wishes.
