A member asked:
Is a headache from taking 20mg of celexa once a day for 17 days common or a serious side effect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Headache with Celexa is more common when stopping the medication. Nausea, Dry mouth, appetite loss, fatigue, drowsiness and sweating most common side effects with the medication. SSRI side effects usually can last about a week when starting and then will typically go away. I would let your provider know about your 17 days of headache.
