I started 20 mg of celexa about 3 years ago for mild anxiety (mostly social) and mild depression. It helped a lot with the anxiety. About 1 1/2 yrs later I went up to 30 mg because many of my anxiety symptoms came back. Since then I went back down to 20 mg, then to 10 mg which is where I'm at now because I just don't feel like it was doing much for me anymore. I still get some anxiety and I feel depressed sometimes. I also am lethargic and want to sleep a lot. I have no motivation to do much (except shopping). But I have this feeling that this may be from the med. I've been thinking of going off completely and trying to cope with just therapy. But I'm scared, mostly of the withdrawl symptoms. Just going down to 10 mg has caused nightmares and sweating at night. I also worry that my symptoms will come back with a vengeance. What do you think?
