Hi,

Whoever has informed you that Celexa alters the personality was incorrect. It simply corrects the symptoms occurring from altered serotonin levels in the brain. It alleviates the symptoms of anxiety, depression and some other mental illnesses. Please take it as prescribed by your doctor and you have nothing to worry.

Best wishes.
