I think there was a medical term for it that I read once, but they are frightening and frequent and feel extremely alarming.
I don't think it took me too long for the Celexa to start working, maybe a couple of weeks? But when it worked, it was fucking mindblowing. I woke up one morning and felt like my anxiety was gone. It was insane.
Tell her to temper her expectations, though. What worked for me seems to be something that doesn't work for everyone.
