When I started Celexa it diminished my worrying (mental anxiety) but made me jittery (physical anxiety). That's normal with Celexa and other SSRI's. But it goes away usually after a few weeks. Try switching the time of day you take Celexa. If you are taking it in the morning, try taking it at night or visa versa. I occasionally took Kava at night for the first 2 months on celexa and that helped.
