Hi Teri:
I take Celexa 40 mg. per day and find it very mild in terms of side effects. Effexor is not strictly speaking an SSRI (someone else can chime in here with the details) so a bad reaction to it does not mean you will react badly to Celexa.
As for Klonopin, it is the longest lasting of the benzos. If Xanax helped you, odds are Klonopin will too. I must say I'm surprised your doc is starting you at 1 mg t.i.d., but it is really not my place to second-guess your doc; Klonopin is quite sedating at higher doses (I use it p.r.n. for sleep). There is no conflict with Celexa and Klonopin of which I am aware. Hang in there, good luck and keep in touch!
