Common Questions and Answers about Citalopram and xanax
celexa
I was just diagnosed with anxiety issues and they put me on xanax for the panic attacks that I can't control and also Citalopram for the daily use to keep me mello. They say I won't feel the full effect for a couple of weeks but I can feel like it's doing something because I don't have any attacks until about an half hour before I need to take my pill.
So anyway I hope this helps, good luck.
Yesterday the dr told me to stop taking the celexa and continue with the xanax. Which I can take up to 4 times a day. I tried citalopram 50 mg back in 2010-2011 but was taken off of it because of increased anxiety and also sucidal thoughts. We decided the dr and I to try a baby dose of citalopram this time and see if it would help. Because I am at a different place now than I was back then. So I have taken 8 doses of the xanax so far which has been half a pill every time.

in my expirience, drinking makes my anxiety/ocd worse for a few days after. I haven't drank in a year, but when i did, the next few days i was so nervous and anxious i couldn't function. and yes, xanax and drinking can cause liver and kidney problems over time, and in excess can cause overdose.
Hello everyone
I started having severe anxiety attacks two month ago, though I have suffered with anxiety my whole life. I have been on Citalopram for four days now and the side effects seems to be increasing. I am on a small dose, one quarter of a 20 mg tablet. I am suppose to go up to one half of a 20 mg tab today but am afraid to. I am jittery, have headaches, am groggy but panic when I try to sleep, have heat flashes through my upper body, my eyes feels strange...the list goes on.
The sister drug to Citalopram is Lexapro, which I have been prescribed for depression, but only because I am on 2 mg per day of Xanax, which is the common medication for panic attacks and anxiety. Xanax is in the class of drugs known as "depressants", which obviously will make you "depressed" thus continuing the 3 ring circus of meds, one to depress you , another to fight the depression, and so on.
I am on citalopram 10mg and xanax .25 four times a day. I have a med check on wed with my doc, though I may still call today.
Hello, My doc has me starting citalopram for severe anxiety attacks. She has me on one quarter of a 20 mg tab for four days, then a half tab for four, three quarters for four days and finally a full twenty. Has anyone else started like this? The doc wanted to help me with side effects since I am very sensitive in the stomach. Will starting this slower make the theraputic effects take longer to show. I am desperate to feel normal again. I am on .25 of xanax to help with the transition.
I started Citalopram 12 days ago. First week I took 10mg, then last Saturday started 15mg. I wondered if people have increased anxiety? I am having just bad restless legs, thoughts racing, but very spacy and forgetful, even though I'm super anxious. I have to take a xanax in the morning and at night to cope. The nausea SE went away, but wondered if this other is normal?
I was wondering if anxiety can cause my chest pain off and on during the week. also i am on citalopram and xanax (when i need it), are those medications okay to take or are they harmful in the long run.
t take it every day, but I do take it 5 out of the 7 days. I was on prozac for a year and then switched to 20mg of lexapro once a day. I want off the xanax and lexapro and know in order to do it right, you have to wean yourself off of it. What would the best way be to wean myself off of these medications so that I have the least side effects possible?
To treat the anxiety i started on Citalopram and this medication only made me very tired. (falling asleep in class). after talking with my counselor i started back on Add meds 2 days ago starting at 50mg Vyvanse. Once again just as focalin did this made me very sick last night causing the palor and tremor just as focalin had. I experienced twitches and insomnia last night got 2 hours of sleep but and 5 the night before but am awake but i feel terrible.
Can just 10MG of Citalopram Hydrobromide cause night sweats? I've been taking that the last two mornings and during the last two nights I've had 2-3 separate night sweats each night. My back is covered with sweat and leaves a football size stain on the mattress sheet. I also take 0.5MG of Xanax right before bed each night.
Yes, because I started on Remeron in April 07 with xanax - and have begun weaning off xanax in October 07. (still taking the mirtazapine/remeron - 30 mg).
It's now 4 months later, and I'm on a very low dosage of Xanax and fortunately, the extreme anxiety/trembling that I was suffering from has not returned.
Now, I'm trying to discontinue the xanax completely.
I wish you good luck with finding the right combination...
Lately I have had a hard time kicking both the anxiety and depression. I have been on 30mg Citalopram for three years. Seem to have worked just now it seems to not and the xanax really help. I only take a .
I gained about 30 lbs on Citalopram. I work out and eat healthy. I just saw a new doctor and he believes the Citalopram is causing my weight gain. I have been on it for about 18 months. I am now taking half a pill of Citalopram in order to wean myself off of it. My doctor then prescribed me Bupropion HCL (take twice a day). He says that should help with weight loss. Has anyone had good experiences with Bupropion? Did you gain weight on Citalopram? Thanks!!!
Long story short. I was put on ambien, Xanax, and citalipram around 8 years ago. Not educating myself and being in an unhappy marriage I was desperate. Did not do
My homework. Just took them! I have recently been tapering off. 6
Months of this. I am down to 10 mg of citalopram. My anxiety is off the charts. I honestly think I am in the middle of a nervous breakdown. The hardes thing is I am having complete panic attacks when I sleep.
Anyways told my doc about panic attacks before and he prescribed 20mg citalopram i havent collected them yet and wasnt planning on it but now my panic and anxiety is so bad i cant carry on with uni like this. The thought of taking them scares me though, in addition to reading all the side effects a pill affecting my brain chemistry is worrying :-/ and i need to be able to carry on with school I dont have time off!!! Nobody knows im even having these problems...
