Is anyone or has anyone been on Celexa for anxiety/panic attacks? I have been prescribed it but have been scared to take it because of all of the horrible side effects listed. If anyone has any info on this it would be great help. Thank you:) Alissa

I have been on Celexa for eight months now and with remarkable results.

I just started Celexa two weeks ago, and so far so good. The only side effect I noticed was that I would get incredibly sleepy a couple of hours after I took it for about the first week. Not I have to lay down, my head is fuzzy sleepy, just regular run of the mill tired. I am noticing a difference already, though since I've been on this med. My thoughts aren't racing as much and I feel like I can actually relax.

I know starting new meds is scary!! I was petrified to take meds again, but I'm glad I finally bit the bullet, so to speak. I am feeling much better.
