Hi there. Sorry to hear that you are in a bad place with your anxiety and depression. I have been dealing with a "flare-up" for the last six months or so and it is such a pain.

I have been on Celexa for over 15 years. Until February of this year, I was on 20mg and doing really well. I have since increased three times, up to 50mg and am finally starting to feel myself again. I have found Celexa to be very helpful, with minimal side effects.

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. Otherwise, best of luck in your journey!

Thank you so much for your response it makes me feel good knowing I’m not alone in this. How long if you can remember did it take for you to start feeling better with celexa?

When I initially went on it took 3-4 weeks to start really feeling better. My doctor put me on 0.5mg clonazapam daily during those weeks to help me make it through. Perhaps something you can discuss with your doctor?

She actually prescribed that as well. Thank you so much for your input
