Yes, sorry - it's me again! I posted a request earlier for alternatives to AD's since I've had miserable luck with them. Although I am still considering the use of Klonopin daily (advice given to me from that last question) I haven't quite given up the notion of using an AD.
My question is this - if I experienced increased panic/anxiety (a nightmare experience for me which set me back in my recovery for months and years)on Prozac, Paxil, Effexor. Is there any hope I would respond differently to Celexa????? My doc seems to think that combining that with Klonopin to help me get through the early increased anxiety days would help. Not only am I VERY fearful of the increased panic and general "I'm losing my mind" feeling, I don't like feeling sedated. My recent round with Parnate did just that to me. It was a VERY weird feeling and I just ended up becoming very anxious over that and stopped. I'm still reverberating over that recent experience and am in a highly sensitized state with my disorder as a result.
Sorry to be so long winded but would like to hear from ANYONE, who has had similar experiences but found help on Celexa - that is for panic disorder and agoraphobia - not depression.Thanks,
Lisa
