It will take time

This is my first day on the Celexa. I did not follow my doctor's advice and start out at the 10mg instead, I broke the tablet in half to slowly introduce to my body. I think that is why I had such a negative reaction with the Zoloft. I know that it will take time to know if the medicine is working. I am just waiting for the day that I feel like my old self again. Everytime I feel a little panic or a twinge of pain, I am using my positive thinking and reminding myself that I am only feeling the anxiety and that I am not going to die from anxiety. I have been able to talk myself down a couple of times today and have not had to resort to using any xanax which makes me happy because I really do not want to have to take the xanax. I know that the change in the weather  and time change has also impacted my feelings and is making things a little bit worse, but I am going to stay positive and know that I have to take it one day at a time.
