I have to believe SSRI's work for some people?
Or is it just that SSRIs take awhlie (1-2 months) for the initial anxiety to go away?
i heard TCA's work really well because they sedate you, but i cant be on a TCA because of weight gain.
is there another type of sedative that doesnt cause weight gain? non benzodiazepine-wise?
I really hope this Celexa works for me, im jittery at work today, but i feel a little better each day.
I also have to remember the Celexa is building and the Imipramine is leaving... im in transition... in a month i should be able to tell what to increase or decrease or if it just doesnt work and i need something added.
Please keep your posts coming, its helping me in a very difficult time, especially if you have had good experience with Celexa or another SSRI for Panic Disorder .
Thanks,
Erik
