Hi everyone!

I'm new here. I have been having anxiety for about 10 years now. I have tried a lot of meds and my latest is Celexa. 20mg was ok and then I upped to 40 and it is working sooo well for me. I was looking on the internet tonight and see one of the side effects is heart problems if you go over 40 and the FDA just lowered it to that. It makes me nervous wondering what if they lowered it again to 20 because they found it may cause heart problems in even lower doses? It makes me want to quit taking it but it works so well and it took me so long again to find something that works, I'm torn. Anyone with any experience with this?

Hi - web md reports that any dose over 40 mg is when the heart issues can occur so you should be fine. It's just hard when you have anxiety and you read about your medicine and heart risks. That can CAUSE anxiety!
