Lexapro would prolly be a good start. Celexa and Lexapro are basically the same, but (as i understand it) after selling Celexa the pharmaceutical company realized that not all the medicine in it was helping. They isolated one part, which is sold as Lexapro now. Lexapro then has less incident of side effects without the extra junk, but it's not necessarily more medicine because it's prescribed at lower dosages.
Lexapro is usually prescribed for people with anxiety and depression. I've been on it since August and feel much better (in general)--alot less anxiety (though i still have some) and my moods are alot more stable. It took a long time, months, before i could say for sure that it was helping.
good luck
