I first started on the generic form of celexa(10 mg once a day) a little over one year ago..it was because I was having some mild depression..I also in the past have had some anxiety/panic attack issues. When I first went on it..it kind of scared me because I felt like I was in a fog..felt like i couldn't respond to things in my normal way..However, i did feel like my energy level was better, wasn't flying off the handle the way i used to, my panic/anxiety seems less frequent. Good things to say. I recently decided, however, to come off of it..(under the direction of my Dr.) I just hate the thought of being on med's to help me cope..I have been having a horrible couple weeks since I have been off of it..back to some of my old behaviors..and worse! yelling at my husband and kids for trivial things..feel very angst and ready to tell someone off at any moment..it has been horrible..am hoping this gets better..I hate feeling like this!

well u just might need to go back on it:/. Ive read that some ppl have to take antidepressants for the rest of there life. but if your anxiety and depression is not that bad and u can deal with it, tolerate it then do that. But for me I was having horrible panic attacks. I was having night terrors, waking up in the middle of the night crying with a panic attack every night. I was having rtouble going anywhere. I would even have to leave work a few times because i was having such bad anxiety. Celexa helped me a lot. I'm so glad I can go out and do things and not have constant anxiety about things. A lot of that tho has to do with eliminating other problems in my life as well. I broke up with my boyfriend, quit smoking pot, stopped over spending, hung out with my friends more, and quit taking opiates. haha sorry, just told u my story that rly has nuthing to do with u.

nobody has to stay on antiD medication for the rest of their life! the onl;y people who NEED you to stay on antiD meds forever are the drug companies.
get plenty of niacin and omega3 oils. eat raw cashews. get sugars, preservatives, additives and simple carbs out of your diet.
does no one find it ironic that here we are with the easiest and most pampered lives in history and we are having an epidemic of depression?

There are many natural products/alternatives for health issues. Drugs that cause side effects . . . .are not the answer.
