Antidepressants for Anxiety Disorders (or, Oh How I Love Citalopram)

I am still doing well on Citalopram; in fact, I have often wondered what would have happened to me the past few months had I not been on it.  Between my daughter’s depression/panic disorder and my husband’s health issues and hospitalization, I am not sure I would have been able to get through if not for the grace of God and His anointing of my Citalopram.  In short, I don’t have time to deal with myself right now.  My eating disorder is suffering for it, but life goes on for now.

    How long have you been taking it and what is your dosage? (If you don’t mind me asking). I do feel a little better panic wise since i begun my treatment a few month’s ago (initially 20mg but recently put on 40mg) but i’v sunk into quite a bad depression, maybe it’s not for me? I’m always curious to hear other people’s experiences.

    Much love.

    Hi littleannabella! Thank you for writing and sharing your experience. I am glad you are doing better with your panic, but your depression concerns me greatly. I encourage you to see your doctor as soon as you can to assess your situation. I am on 10 mg and I sometimes feel that I could use a little higher of a dosage, but I am trying to manage within this dosage. Here is a link to my original post on Citalopram: http://afarewellkisstogointotheunknown.wordpress.com/2009/02/15/citalopram-celexa/

    Please stop by and let me know how you are doing when you have a moment, I will be thinking of you!

    Love,
    Trish
