> hi ive been on that for 14 month and now im weaning myself off it, anxiety is or can b experienced more when u first start taking them, my doc decided for me to half my dose till my body got used to it because i was drowsy having non stop panic attacks headaches feeling sick shaking, i did what he said and im glad i took them, i feel loads better than b4 i took them there worth a try,takecare xHi...
I really recommend her to add a small amount of Remeron 15-30mg or Serzone 200-300mg at night. This is a very good combo and will eliminate the insomnia from Celexa. It will also boost the antidepressant effect.
Ask the doctor for this combo, and you have an exellent med combo.
Sincerely...//Petters
