Today for some reason I am feeling unusually happy. Almost too happy for me. I am on about 3.5 weeks of taking Celexa. Could this be the meds kicking in or is something else.

Thanks
Kats

It could definitely be the meds kicking in. When I start a med (I start and stop a lot), I feel really good after about a week, then it levels off and then near the month mark I definitely feel like I am much more content with everything.

They say it takes about 6 weeks to reach therapeutic levels, but I'm sure everyone is different.

Hi Kats,
I'm on Wellbutrin (have been for a number of years) but I remember it feeling like that in the beginning. I really started to feel almost too good in the beginning. But it settled out after a few weeks and now it just helps to keep me level and from sinking too low.

OW was right also, different people can react quite differently. But 3.5 weeks doesnt' sound too early to me for you to feel a difference.

Although it may be that a "normal" level of happiness may feel really intense if its been a long time.
