I’ve been on Citalopram for anxiety with some depressive symptoms for 5 yrs, that stopped working, then cymbalta for six months, but that caused weight gain and higher blood pressure. It did help with some ibs pain I was going through.
Started Prozac a month ago, first two weeks 10 mg, after that 20 mg. So currently at 20. Initially I got so much more anxious alternating with crying spells. It got better when doc upped to 20mg. After some more sunny days with not too much anxiety (but with waking up at night), anxiety is back full force. Should I switch to lexapro? Would that help even though celexa stopped working? I have a family, and last year was rough with hypothyroidism, ibs, anxiety etc.
mood wise I was good on the cymbalta but side effects were too much....
Tired of this. Just want one that works. Therapy helps, but it seems I need meds as well...
Thx
