Hi Diane N,
I have been taking Celexa since April 1999 and I find it great. I take 20mg at 5:00pm, therefore I am not tired during the daytime. I am also on Rivotril too.
The reason I am on Celexa is for the same reason as you. I was taking another drug called Tofranil for years and for no reason it stopped working.
I started off on 10mg of Celexa and it was increased to 20mg at bedtime. If I take it in the morning I am tired all day, but when I take it at 5:00pm at about 11:00 I am ready for bed. But that is ok because I should be going to bed by then anyway.
I still have my bad and good days, but the bad days are much more easier. (see bottom regarding a book I have)
Hope this helped you. Diane F
P.S. I found this excellent called FROM PANIC TO POWER by Lucinda Bassett. This is an excellent book to read. It ready helps you learn how to deal with anxiety, depression and panic attacks. I have suffered from these problem for about 8 years. So if you can, it would be worth picking up this book.
