hi, so I just found this site. Just wanted to ask a few questions. So I have been on antidepressants in the past and actually got off CT in my early 20’s and felt fine. Fast forward to my early 30’s and I did something dumb and I fell back into panic and anxiety attacks. Decided to go on Lexapro. I don’t recall the first months on it but I felt great after a while and stayed on it for 9 years because I was never told to come off. Last year I started feeling off, like it wasn’t working so I got switched a few times and felt fine for a little and then back to blah feeling. So I told my psych that I wanted to try and come off. She advised a 5 day taper which I stupidly agreed to. Fast forward 6 months later and it’s been horrible ride. Decided to finally go back on meds and I was put on a very low dose of Celexa. It’s day 7 and I feel like some symptoms have gone away but I feel like I’m more anxious now and the last few days I can’t stay asleep. Mind you that I don’t have any racing thoughts or anything. Has anyone dealt with this before?

celexa increased my blood pressure, which might be what’s mimicking anxiety. Just a thought. I also tried to taper off and ended up going right back on it (lexapro). I’m taking 20 mg/day and it’s not enough. Thinking of adding something else.
