I started on 10mg of celexa and worked my way up to 40mg a day over a period of 10months. Truthfully it didn't help me at all. Added Paxil to it and made my anxiety worse. Trying Lexapro starting tomorrow. Good luck everyone is differant.

Because I have anxiety with meds, they had me start by cutting those tiny 10mg in half, then moved up to 10mg. I am now on 20mg. I notice some positive differences, but not enough. I have been on it for a month. I refuse to go higher though, if it is not working, I will get off.
I still need to take my xanax as needed at times, so I still have bad moments.

I couldn't afford Cymbalta's copay any longer so doc put me on Celexa. I did a switch and had no withdrawals stopping the Cymbalta. Before I had tried to wean off Cymbalta and had all sorts of symptoms as well as anxiety.

I'm only taking 20mg of Celexa and it's helping my depression but also my anxiety. That's a plus for me because social anxiety has always ruled my life.

I was put on Celexa for anxiety and panic attacks. When I first started taking it my anxiety went through the roof. I had to stop because I could not tolerate or function with the side effects. I am hoping to try something again to help with anxiety and may try the Celexa again.

i have been on celexa didn't work i haven been on so many i have lost count. 19yrs of panic and anxiety 2 yrs now i have been on PMS-Clonazepam R .5mg i take two and i also take teva-trazodone 50mg to take edge off been panic free since i do have mild ones ever now and then but haven't had full out blown one.

im on 40mg of celexa for depression...40 mg of abilify for bi polar...and 1mg 4x a day for anxiety

I was on Paxil for a very long time and it was as I called it my friend. I did not have any panic attacks while taking it, but my sex drive was zero so I went off of it and didn't take anything for a while. And of course the panic attacks started back and I had to go on something. The dr put me on Celexa 10mg and I worked it up to 40mg. In a way I like ti much better than paxil. I have emotions but not panic. No side effects and thank God it helped. I lost my health insurance and quit going to the dr and therefore the medicine stopped also. I had to go back to the dr 2 days ago and get another presciption for celexa. It is only 4 dollars for a month supply at Walmart which is so much better than the 50 co-pay I was paying for paxil. Try it I think you will find it a great help! God bless and Good luck!

I just started taking Celexa a week ago for depression and pretty bad anxiety...so far I don't notice much of a difference except that it seems to be adding to my tiredness. I'm hoping it will start working for me soon.
