A member asked:
Does celexa (citalopram) make you gain weight or lose weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can do both: The side effects for Celexa (citalopram) are reported as being associated with rapid weight gain, anorexia (weight loss), loss of appetite (weight loss), and so it can do both things in different people. You're 31 years old. You should be able to manifest some level of control by following good dietary practices and engaging in adequate exercise and you'll likely be just fine. Talk to your doctor.
