I have gone up to 20mg Celexa for past 3 days. Just wondering if you thing Seroquel would help anxiety and is it ok to take it with lorazepam. If I took a low dose at night would it help me throughtout the day also? I was on Prozac for many years and it stopped working as well so thats why the switch to Lexapro and now Celexa. But have to say that Prozac probably helped me better than both of these so far. I mostly have depression but anxiety seems to be moving right up there!!

> If I take a low dose of Seroquel at night does it stay in my system and help with anxiety throughout the day?probably, especially if you get the extended release. i'm not too big on neuroleptics. i might try risperdone first.

yes
>Celexa seems to be causing my anxiety to increase. I've been on it for 1 month and anxiety is no better.
