I started taking Celexa yesterday.. So far I am having extreme nausea.. Blah. I slept with a bowl next to my bed last night. Starting to take walks with my son my doctor said it helps to be active when you can! Hope all is well with everyone!

Yuck, that's not a fun side effect. Maybe you can help the nausea by taking it with food. or take it mid-meal rather than before or after you eat. That's what I do with meds that make me nauseated.
I walk too (walk my dog a few times a day and make one of the walks a longer one if I'm feeling ok), we have to keep our muscles from deteriorating, that would just make us feel worse..

Vitamins do that to me, and my doctor said to take them right before I go to bed so I don't notice the nausea. I don't know if doing that with Celexa will keep you up at night, but it's worth a try, unless you are supposed to take it at a certain time. Also, that symptom might go away after being on it for awhile. Good luck!

When I started taking Cymbalta I had stomach upset. The pharmacist recommended taking one Zantac 75mg in the morning and one in the evening. That took the stomach upset away and I stopped taking the Zantac after about 6 weeks and I was fine. Sometimes it is an initial side effect that will subsided as you adjust.

I agree with happyface. Tums are really good, too! Good luck ;)
