Hey Anna:
It's Dave from LA, from the other thread:)
I am on a "cocktail" of Celexa 40 mg. and Remeron 15 mg., which has brought me out of a very deep depression/anxiety/panic/insomnia problem. I was on Xanax and then Klonopin short-term for the panic and anxiety, it worked well but scared me and I'm glad I was able to stabalize to where I could get off taking it continuously. I've still got that stuff for "as-needed" use but haven't needed it in six weeks. Six weeks with no panic attacks! You cannot know how relieved and happy I am.
I had very few side effects to Celexa except for minor nausea for a few days which has long since disappeared. I gained the usual 10 pounds my first month on Remeron, a very fair trade for correcting my sleep cycle and getting me off regular benzo use. I do know that some people have discontinuation syndromes from Celexa (though my doc says not everyone, plus he'll take me off slowly when the time comes), but I'll probably be on it at least 6-8 months, so I'll jump off that bridge when I come to it:)
Cheers!
Dave
