I started taking Celexa in June. . . started at 5 and went up to 10. After about a month I went to my doctor and she said to go up to 20. I took 15 for a couple weeks and felt good other than the first few days. Then about 1.5 weeks ago I went up to 15. I have had a couple good days but overall I feel drowsy, nauseated. . . and then at times hot flashes and anxiety.

My friends all tell me to give it time. I hope that's right but I just feel like maybe I'm on too much. Or, is this normal?

I've left a message with my pdoc to call me. Just wanting some encouragement. I'm super sensitive to meds. I'm also taking 1/2 of a .5 Klonopin at night.

Well, my doctor told me to step back down to 15. Today is my first day of doing that and already I feel a little better.

im on celexa now i take 20 plus 30 remron at night i also take olanzapine during the day i feel little gorggy during the day and im workign on my coping skills for panic. i was int he hospital and they put me in olanzapine for racing thoguhts.

I hope the Celexa and the other meds help you feel better. I do feel some anxiety at times but it is such that I'm able to use my skills to calm down. I'm hoping that this is the dose that will help me long term.

I find im still way to panicky when i go out im off any of the benzos so im trying my coping skills out.

I'm still taking 1/2 of a Klonopin at night. I'm feeling better than I was on 20mg but still get really tired sometimes.
