In reply to pdoc bullsh!tting me about SSRI helping anxiety?, posted by tendency on April 14, 2005, at 14:52:09
Celexa helped me TREMENDOUSLY for about 3 years. Then it kind of stopped working. SSRI's are initially great for anxiety, in my opinion. The first one I used was Paxil, then I went to Celexa because Paxil was too sedating. Both worked wonders for my anxiety, panic, and OCD. But within the past couple of years, many of my symptoms resurfaced, so now I'm using an SNRI, which also affects norepinephrine. I wouldn't hesitate to give it a shot and later on, if you need to switch to something else, you can. Best of luck!
