I agree with the other posters. Regardless of what the reasons are, you have reached a critical state that needs to be addressed by your doctor.I wouldn't know what to suggest.
1. Increase Luvox rapidly
2. Restart Celexa at 1/2 the original dosage; remain on Luvox and titrate to 100mg; stabilize; taper Celexa gradually; increase Luvox if needed while tapering Celexa.
3. Use Zyprexa or some other anxiolytic temporarily while you titrate the Luvox
Let us know what the doctor says. What medications do you have around that might treat the anxiety temporarily?
