In reply to choosing between self control and anxiety/concentr, posted by porkpiehat on March 7, 2011, at 10:29:12

> 6 months ago I increased my celexa from 20 to 25 mgs. I was having significant problems with concentration and social anxiety. It worked well, but I found as a side effect I became very indulgent.

After work I would most likely meet friends at the bar even though I had stuff to do at home. The same goes for indulgent foods.
