i too was on celexa for quite a while, and found through some reading that one of the side effects is increased appetite, and weight gain, there are many others, but this is what it did to me. i was hungry all the time on the celexa, always snacking on something, which was not the norm for me. before i knew it i had gained about 25pds. i went from 130 to about 154-155. i went to my dr. about this, and i decided to get off of it. from everything i have read the celexa effects everyone in a different way, some even lose weight on it, but this is just my experience on it. i have been on phen since 3-9, and my current weight is 140, i am slowly on my way, but i will never take the celexa again. this may give you no help at all, but i just wanted to let you know ,my experience with it. good luck to you.
