Hello everyone,
I suffer from severe anxiety as well as panic attack disorder. I have not had a panic attack in over a week and a half (YAY) but I am still battling with this anxiety. I always think that I am dying or going to die. Going to faint and hit the floor. Stuff like that constantly running through my head throughout the day. I was prescribed Celexa 20mg by my doctor. I have not taken it yet. My question is, if I take this or any other anti depressant meds, will it make these awful thoughts of dying go away? If it will, I will gladly take them and deal with the potential side effects. I was previously on Effexor for a week, but it was causing repeat panic attacks so the doctor switched my meds, but she won't know until my appointment tomorrow that I have not started taking the Celexa yet. Please help. thanks all :)
