If you have felt good at 20 mg for a year and now you are having some anxiety and other changes in how you feel, the next step fo your doctor would usually be to increase the dosage.
Perhaps just increasing it by 10 mg for a while might be enough to change how you are feeling.
When I started celexa, I didn't feel better until I went to 40 mg. Now that I've been on it for a year, really 9 mos, I take 30 mg, but take 10 mg in the morning and 20 mg at night.
So call your doctor and see what he/she suggests.
Tweaking the dosage is usually the thing to do especially when you know Celexa works for you. The only reason you should try another med is if a change in the dosage doesn't bring about some improvement in your symptoms.
Good luck. I'm thinkin of reducing my dose to 20 mg to see how i do.
P.S. I also take Wellbutrin 150 mg and Neurontin 400 mg. It's a constant balancing act to get the right mix.
