I take that too. 20mg daily. How is it working for you?

Hey John,

Sorry to hear about your rough go lately. I relate to you a lot, and you need to know, it will get better.

My Dad died when I was 16 (2 weeks before I turned 17) and that sure did a...

My whole life has been like a severely shooken up snow globe for the last year or so. In and out of the Doctor and therapist (they work together on my case, so it makes it easier) and trial and error...

The best thing that worked for me was just to sit tight. I had a panic attack in the grocery store once - Superstore to be exact (which is pretty big)- and it was awful. I had a cart full of things...

Hey all,

I'm back!

I was doing good for a good while there, and now, not so much. My life took a few pretty intense turns in the last little while - so naturally my anxiety came back. I've...

Clonazepam worked like a charm for me when I used to get panic attacks. I was prescribed to take .5mg two times a day as needed, so I didn't take them regularly, only when I had a panic attack. I...

If he ever physically cheated, like had sex with another women, I would pack my stuff and go. Not a second thought about that. But these circumstances are different, as you can tell. To me, it was...

That was really interesting to read, honestly. It kind of changed what seat I've been sitting in the last few weeks.

I do want things to work out with us. We have a great life together and have a...

That is very true. When my fiancé and I started dating, I felt amazing. No anxiety, depression, nothing. Just pure me. It was great. Fast forward a few years and it's right back to where it left off...

I am of no help. I have been feeling the same with my fiancé for a little while now. I think some doubt is normal to an extent though. Best of luck in figuring it out, and if you do, let me know. I...

Hey everyone, I'm back.

Haven't been on here in a while, as I was busy with school and whatnot.

Done school now, and am now on the search for a job. Not as stressful as I thought it would be to...

oh, and try stretching your chest muscles and improving your posture. Makes a huge difference for my chest pain.

they wouldn't have let you go if something was wrong with your heart. I work in health care as well as many other people on this site do. Now, I am not a doctor by any means, but I do know many of...

I started back on citalopram (celexa) about 2 months ago and have noticed some weight gain. Not too much, maybe a couple of pounds. But realistically for me, the benefits of taking the medication are...

I have felt like that too, and still do from time to time. I was medication free for almost 5 years and just started back on Celexa on Saturday. Slowly starting to feel a little better and am...

I also think I have an irrational fear of going crazy as I had a relative that had suffered from mild Schizophrenia so I think when I am anxious I think of that and then with the anxiety basically...

I talked to my doctor on the phone today and she said to cut the dose down to 10mg a day and to take it in the morning. She explained that when you take it in the am you have all day to burn off the...

Did you experience the attacks the way I did? I seriously felt like getting my man to take me into the mental health centre last night. It's just so hard to deal. How did you cope? Any tips?

I never had this kind of reaction to celexa before. I was on it two separate times when I was 18 an 19 and it helped a lot then. I think maybe my anxiety now is just a lot worse than when I took it...

Started back on celexa after 4-5 years of being medication free. Dr started me at 20mg a day, anxiety got way worse so I had it adjusted to 10mg a day for a week then go to 20mg a day. I usually take...

In one word.

Therapy.

For me personally, that is what helps the most. Eating right, being healthy and active help a lot to. You are what you eat! There are a lot of different threads on here...

It all sticks eventually! Coffee and flash cards are dear friends of mine these days :p

I agree with you David. I took Celexa years ago, it helped me, I got better and got off of it without incident. Twice. Now years later....

I actually have been going to CBT for quite some time...

Just try and breath. I AM NOT A DOCTOR but to me, from experience, it sounds like a panic attack. You can send me a message if you'd like, but ultimately you need to remember that all panic attacks...

Thank you for passing along the resources. I will be looking into it over the course of this week.

I think a lot of people stumble with the maintenance of overcoming anxiety. If we didn't, we...
