Is the cure worse than the problem?

I am bipolar as well but I have only been diagnosied with depression and I got put on Celexa a few months ago. I started out with 20mg and it worked ok, I couldnt tell any difference but my fiance said he noticed a change since I started them, he said Ive become a little bit more calmer then I was and not so moody. But my doctor didnt like my progress with it so she bumped me up to 40 mgs of it. I still see no difference. Im also suppost to be starting counsling but I dont have the motivation to go in and set up an appointment for it. But ever since I started taking celexa Ive had horrible problems with insomnia, like its almost 6am right now and Im wide awake. So Im suppost to start taking sleeping pills as well to try and help with that part of the problem. But besides that I dont think I really have any other side effects, at least none I noticed yet. But if you dont like taking celexa just talk to your doctor and see if he will switch it for you.

I have taken Celexa for about a year now. I really have not had any side effects while I have taken it! I might have been tired in the beginning I cant remember but I know I didnt have any other symptoms. No trouble sleeping & no weight gain. I take Celexa and lamictal now but I think I need to get a differnet medicine instead of the lamictal.
