I've been diagnosed with panic disorder(w/agoraphobia) for over ten years now. I'm 33. Initially I took Celexa along with an ocasional .05 of Xanax as needed during an attack. Twice during the last ten years this totally cured my symptoms enough for me to stop the medication after about a year or two. I'd be fine for a few years then I'd relapse. I'm currently in my third setback. I'm now taking 20mg of Lexapro and 1mg. of Xanax XR (a new long lasting Xanax) and I feel 95% better. Eventually I know I'll decrease the Xanax XR and stop it. I may remain on the Lexapro indefinitley this time seeing my pattern of setback over the last 13 years. Please feel free to email me for any addtional info.
