I felt very unsettled on Citalopram (generic Celexa) at first. My doctor started me at 40 mg, which was too much for me. I cut the pill in half and still felt weird for about 2 weeks. I got the true effect after about 4 weeks. I continued to take 20 mg for 6 months and felt very good. At that time my doctor prescribed the full 40 mg. I didn't really feel any better at 40 mg, but I take it anyway. I feel like it saved my life and gave me the freedom to really live finally. No more unfounded fears and panic attacks. I'm happy.

Wonderful to hear! Because of my benzo taper the lowest dose antidepressant to start is needed to avoid stimulation. I’d do anything to get rid of the panic attacks I’m experiencing from tapering plus I think Valium causes (although they all do I suppose) depression. I’ve not taken an SSRI medication in many years but things got so rough I really need it. Great to hear Celexa has worked for you. I feel a little bit strange—tomorrow will be day 3–but certainly an improvement already from where I was!
