      Olivin bless your heart. I'm so sorry the celexa is making you sick. I took it for about a year because it was the only thing we had tried so far that helped my depressions at all until I got on Lamictal. PLEASE be careful where the herbs and vitamins are concerned. There are a lot of people who really mean well but don't have a clue what they are doing when they try to "treat" us.
