Hi all,
I have been suffering from anxiety for the past few weeks. Currently I am taking citalopram 10mg (day10 now) and Ativan .5mg three times a day. Would love to have some insight from people who are suffering as I am and also some success stories. I myself have beat anxiety several times so I know it is possible. It's just that it can be very isolating and frustrating when experiencing it acutely. So, some encouragement and reassurance would be helpful. Thanks.

That med combo is good and I hope you either get good results from 10 mg or go up to 20 mgs over time. Hope your talking to a counselor/therapist as well. Alankay

Yeah. I actually met with a psychologist today. It was provided to me through work. I will continue to meet with her as I do see it as a positive experience even after one session. I recognize the improvement since starting the meds but it's still a battle everyday to try to stay in a positive mind frame and avoid the anxious thoughts that creep in. It is getting easier though.
