Re: Celexa for anxiety

In reply to Celexa for anxiety, posted by Glenda on April 18, 2001, at 10:48:14

Hi

I've been taking 20mg Celexa for over 2 years. My diagnosis was Major Depression and my main complaint was excruciating anxiety. The Celexa started kicking in a week .....with noticeable decrease in my anxiety. For me whenever I start an SSRI it increases my anxiety and insomnia before it starts to reverse those symptoms. Everyone reacts differently .... just don't be afraid if you experience something like that.....I thought for sure I was going helplessly and incureably insane ...... which of course led to more panic and anxiety. My previous experience was with Paxil, that took 6 weeks to start diminishing my anxiety and then left me feeling sedated all the time. I have found Celexa to be virtually free of side effects for me .... but after 6 months weight did creep up but is more stable than the uncontrollable weight gain I had with Paxil.

Good Luck

Marie


> My doctor has just put me on Celexa for anxiety. Is anyone out there taking it for anxiety? If so, how much are you taking? I have a very low tolerance for drugs. He started me on 10 mg daily. What about you?
