Hello. I'm a 36 year old mother of 3. I work weekends although have recently taken a medical leave because of my panic attacks. I have been struggling with anxiety for about 6 years. It started after I had some health issues which have been resolved. I have worked with therapists in the past and been on Celexa. Over the winter I was feeling great and decided to come off the Celexa. My anxiety kept getting worse and worse until I finally had a major panic attack, called 911 and ended up in the ER. I saw my PCP who put me back on Celexa and prescribed some CBT. This is the 3rd time that I have been on Celexa. It has worked great for me in the past but this time around it's not working. I'm having horrible panic attacks to the point where I'm starting to get afraid to even leave the house. I'm worried about what this is doing to my kids (ages 9,7,4). My husband doesn't understand what is wrong with me. I saw my PCP on Monday and she switched me over to Lexapro. I started it last night and felt out of it and lightheaded all day today. I'm having a hard time seeing the light at the end of this tunnel and am looking for some support so I don't feel so alone. I just want my life back!
