40 mg of celexa really isn't high. When I was working at the pharmacy, we had people taking 80 to 100 mg at a time, or 40 mg in combo with SR 150 Wellbutrin.

As for the bipolar, it should make your mood swings lessen on each side meaning you will still go from mad to sad etc but not a severely, instead of being extremes, it will lessen to moderate levels or even less.

As for the cycling, as the body adapts to the meds, it may first induce rapid mood changes cycling from angry to sad within minutes or more. Happens rarely and usually passes quickly.
