celexa

Avatar f tn Hi everyone! Iv been taking celexa for the last four years for depression and anxiety and my doctor wants me to try Cymbalta as my celexa is no longer working and I have been suffering from pain that they believe is nerve related. Iv ready alot of reviews on this drug and not sure if its something I want to take, then again, iv read really good reviews on it. Anyone out there ever taken this drug and if so how was your experience with it.
1539379 tn?1294332115 I also take 05 mg klonopin with clexa in the morning and I feel the klonopin helps more than the celexa with anxiety. that being said I am slowly weaning off the celexa very slowly and see if the klonopin will be enough. the jaw clenching especially at night is not fun. We are all different and hope it works for u!
Avatar f tn Has anyone taken celexa? I just started less that a week ago. I just want to hear other people's experiences with it. Has anyone gained weight on it? Ect...
Avatar f tn I am 23 yrs old a mother of 2..a 5 and 2 year old..And I am also happily married. I suffer from anxiety REALLY bad! It all started when my 2 year old was born he was in NICU for 11 days due to birth complications. It all started then..shortness of breath ALL the time,constantly having bad thougts..always thinking something was wrong with me heart palpitations and other horrible symptioms.
484508 tn?1290010544 I had no idea that testosterone replacement could cause anxiety. I took the stuff because I had anxiety, that Celexa had done a tremendous job of helping. I had to take a Klonopin last night because I was so anxious. I am pretty scared, because I can't have the pellets removed. Could this anxiety improve.?
2001101 tn?1331494740 I went to my family doctor and she told me its anxiety...started on Celexa and klonopin and I am happy to say I already feel great. I will get waves of anxiety in the middle of the night but they go away fast and I am back to sleep. The anxiety can really consume you which is what is so terrible. Did they give you any meds? The klonopin helped a lot while the celexa kicked in. I don't need the klonopin now. I have had no side effects either from the Celexa.
Avatar n tn I've just been put on citalopram for depression and BDD and after reading the reviews and side effects leaflets, im worried about gaining weight on this medication...Is it the actual increase in hunger that causes weight gain or the tablet itself? I am quite worried about this as my body image issues make me scared about putting on weight..
Avatar m tn Dude, you sound almost exactly like me. The only difference is that my anxiety was nearly all the time rather than in as big of waves as yours. To be sure, mine did come in waves too, just of smaller magnitude. I have all the symptoms of General Anxiety Disorder. You may be more on the panic disorder side. No one knows/knew I have it though as I live a normal life on the surface. Everything you describe is me pretty much. Therefore I feel like I can comment here.
Avatar n tn Ask your doctor about celexa. No antidepressants are specifically for panic or anxiety besides benzos but many AD are used to treat anxiety even though they treat depression too. Don't take anything on your own without doctors supervision cuz that can make things worse.
1302779 tn?1287405029 i feel good taking the klonopin in the morning at the same time as my celexa. im just wondering is the celexa supposed to work on my anxiety? just confused i guess?
Avatar n tn Hi, I have been prescribed celexa for my anxiety problems which were chest pains, dizzyness, loss of concentration etc. I have been on 20 mg now for about a month and a half and I was wondering how long it takes for a case like mine to recover and finally come off celexa. Also one weird thing ive noticed is that my eye is twitching a lot which is the only side effect I have from this drug. Will it go away? Anyone else taking celexa for anxiety?
Avatar m tn Celexa will take 3-4 weeks to begin working and usually works well for depression, and slighly well for anxiety and panic attacks. Please do not use Celexa as your fall back medicine for anxiety Most doctors will not give you Ativan or other benzo's so easily, but please try.
4676475 tn?1357862304 Hey, well i been taking citalopram(40mg) almost for three years, i am 19 years old recently last week i been trying to stop taking them for the reason that later in life i want to be healthy and taking no type of medication because i want to have kids and have a family, but it seems not be happening for me i just started with the anxiety last night and i hate the side effects on not taking the medication. well my main question is if its safe taking this medication while pregnancy?
497348 tn?1283436066 All I have heard from my fellow co workers who work in mental health is that celexa maybe isnt the drug for me and my anxiety and panic issues?... anyone have advice to how long I should give celexa before I try something else?...
Avatar f tn I have been on 20mg of celexa now for a week and he would like me to go up to 30mg soon. Does anyone know how long it takes for this stuff to kick in, I'm just wondering if I should hold off with upping to 30mg for awhile and see if the 20 mg is enough. I hate feeling ansie all the time, and the klonopin does seem to help with that, but isn't it pretty addictive? My dr. said not to worry about that and when I started feeling better we would wean off of the klonopin?
Avatar m tn Once the Celexa kicks in and gets in to your system you may not even need the Klonopin any more. Many of the antidepressants like Celexa work on both anxiety and depression.
Avatar n tn hi my doctor is putting my wife on celexa for her anxiety and panic attacks, i was wondering does anyone take it and how it makes you feel, she has been taking buspar for 3 days and i think it made her worse and help would be greatly aprreciated
Avatar f tn It seems like the anxiety has been for a few weeks. I have been upping my Celexa very slowly to the normal dose I have taken in the past. Every time I up it, there's always a small adjustment period if a about a week which causes me anxiety. But that window has closed. I was thinking ut's the birth control. Unless I am getting addicted to Lunesta or Xanax. Again I take them maybe twice a week. Meds Celexa 15mg Lunesta 3mg Xanax .
Avatar f tn Have any of you noticed a difference between 10 mg and 20 mg of Celexa. I took Celexa in the past and was on 20 mg. This time I'm only taking 10 mg and I still have mild anxiety/depression.
4548569 tn?1356292637 I have been taking 20 milligrams of generic Celexa for about 4 months to treat anxiety and depression. I was apprehensive to try Celexa because I had heard so many bad things about it. However, within a short time after taking it I noticed a huge improvement in both my depression and anxiety. I am very happy with the Celexa. One problem I am having though is that I have changed as a person and I suspect it is from the Celexa.
Avatar n tn Antidepressants are for anxiety too. Celexa has worked for me and my sister in law. Its worth a try under ur docs supervision.
497348 tn?1283436066 I have been on several meds, as well as meds for anxiety as I have GAD, too. A year ago, my doc switched me from Celexa to Zoloft( which I had been on for years, since the mid 90s). Well, we just switched back as I experienced what he called " Zoloft failure". In a year, I went from 50 mg to 200 mg ( max dose) and was miserable. I just switched back to Celexa, about 2 weeks ago and am already feeling better. . I also take Klonopin ( .5 mg three times a day ) for the anxiety.
1166402 tn?1303847056 I still have obsessive thoughts and feel the Celexa might not be doing anything for my anxiety. What about Effexor? I heard the withdrawals are bad? What about Buspar? Any luck with that drug?
