I am somewhat like clockwork with my menstrual cycle - one day before my period, I retain water (with sore breasts and irritability), 4 day period, then 4 weeks until it starts all over again. However, I started topamax 2 weeks ago. I suffered "pms" like symptoms for 4 days last week (mainly sore breasts), I started bleeding for about 1/2 day Saturday, stopped for 2 days, and then started again this morning. And I am about a week early. Is this at all anything to do with the topamax? Or am I just having one of those fluke periods? Thanks for any insight.

How does the Celexa work for you after being on Effexor. The Effexor work great for me, but I cannot tolerate the sexual side effects. My doctor said Celexa is less likely to cause this.

> I see my Dr. tomorrow it has been almost 6wks in total that I have been taking celexa and almost 2wjs at the 40mg dose, I have not noticed the difference I was hoping for. Now I wonder if I should of stayed with the effexor xr(but the weight gain of 30lbs was too much)

I am scared that Celexa will not work as well as Effexor. I tolerate Effexor very well, it has worked wonders for me. I am also a bit scared about the effects on the liver.Debbie
