Hi - Does anyone with a pouch take Celexa? I would be curious to find out if you have (had) any pouch side effect. And what your experience is with the drug.

I am just 5 days away from having my takedown and using my pouch but I have been taking Celexa for about 5 weeks now. He started me on Zoloft 50 mg a day and I thought I was going to die. Now i'm on 20 mg of Celexa and I love it. The only problems I have with it are headaches and nausea but that goes away with time. A lot of people with IBD are on anti depressants since it helps with our systems. Are you having any problems with it?
I just started 3 days ago. I thought I had a little upset stomache the first 2 days, but I think that is gone. Other than that, I haven't noticed anything else.
I took Celexa for 4 years post surgery. I did not have any side effects.

I'm assuming they started you on 10 mg. An upset stomach is very common and it does go away. They started me on 10 about a month ago and I couldn't see a difference in my anxiety and depression so they had to move me up to 20. 10 and 20 are very low doses. I think the highest is 40
I take 40 mg per day of Celexa. Have had no issues with it at all, as it relates to my pouch or not.
Agree. Been on Celexa 40mg for about 20 years, 10 of those with pouch. No problem.
