I know insomnia can be one of the side effects, but this is part of the reason that I am depressed. Any information or experiences with this medication would be appreciated! Thanks.
I was just put on Celexa (20 mg) for PPD, and am still having insomnia. Does this go away?

…Ad, when are you taking the medicine. Celexa can give you insomnia OR make you sleepy as a side effect. If you are taking it in the morning but still not sleeping at night, try taking it at night. If you take it at night and it’s keeping you up, switch to mornings.
Ask your doctor about taking OTC Melatonin with the Celexa. My doctor has had me on it for a long time. It is not a drug, but a natural substance that tells our brains, it’s time to go to sleep. It does not make you drowsey the next day and is not addictive.
Good luck getting some rest, I know that is hard with a new baby under the best circumstances.
