Anyone else on Citalopram (generic for Celexa) . I've been on 20 mg for over 20 years. I'm 64 and it's OK over 65! Able to laugh, not cry.

Members responded warmly to a question about Citalopram, with many sharing that they have taken it or similar antidepressants for years with positive results and few side effects. Several members also mentioned Cymbalta, noting it helps with anxiety, mood, and even nerve pain, while others shared their experiences with medications like Effexor, Lyrica, and Wellbutrin. A recurring theme was the encouragement to speak with a neurologist to find the right medication, along with a strong sense of community support for managing both the emotional and physical challenges of MS.

Citalopram and Cymbalta are for depression and anxiety . I've taken Citalopram for over 20 years without any side effects. It has kept me calm and even-tempered. Able to laugh but Not cry. That's how I can live my days with Joy and positivity. Ask your Neurologist which drug might be good for your specific situation. Have a Joyful week my friend!🤗🎶
