I'd like to hear from anyone who has had success with Celexa for panic disorder. I'm wondering how it would work with my Wellbutrin.
Any suggestions?

celexa helped block my full-blown panic attacks
it did little for my general anxiety (maybe i didn't take enough?)
it also helped with my ocd
only side-effect i had was skin rash, but claritin helped with that
the first week after stopping it was tough, alot of withdrawal stuff, but then by the second week i was okay

Thank you Chess for this information.
May I ask what dosage helped you with ocd? What side effects did you initially experience, and how long did you take Celexa, and why did you stop?
I'm going to discuss with my doctor adding a low dose of Celexa with Wellbutrin.
Did Celexa make you...or anyone else reading this post feel spacey? I don't want anything that's going to intensify this lightheaded feeling that I'm trying to eliminate.
Thanks!
