Is anyone on Celexa?
| Tue, 05-17-2005 - 1:56pm |
Hi, I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety and ocd yesterday and given celexa. I will take it tonight for the 1st time. I didn't see depression as a symptom of Gen anxiety but celexa is given for depression. I'm confused. Is anyone here on celexa and does it help with anxiety? Thanks, patsy

From what the research indicates, ppl with anxiety or depression are low on serotonin. The antidepressants currently used are able to boost the serotonin levels. So, the drugs are used for either anxiety, depression or both. Celexa is popular, but I have no first hand knowledge. Hopefully someone will post that does. If you need more info about antidepressants in general, the folks on the antidepressant med board have lots of celexa posts. Always good to see you, Patsy. Don't forget chat tonight @ 9pm Eastern. Alot of med info is exchanged there. HTH (((hugs))) jan

Hi Patsy, I found a couple of links on the AntiDepressant boards that were interesting:
