Reviews for Celexa to treat Panic Disorder

I just started taking Celexa instead of Paxil and so far it's been helping me with my panic problem. I've only been taking it for about a week now. I stopped using Ativan abruptly and my panic attacks came right back even worse. Celexa isn't a bad drug so far.

I suffered my first panic attack in 1992. I took imipramine for years which got rid of the attacks but gave some side effect and gained weight with Paxil. Doctors then put me on Celexa. It has been wonderful. The only way I can tell I'm on the drug is the panic attacks disappeared. I would recommend it highly.

I had never had a panic attack until a year or so ago. It had taken me by complete surprise. I thought I was going to die. By the time my wife got me to the ER I had already been hyperventilating (I was not aware of this at the time)I calmed down after a half hour with deep steady breathing.
My Doctor saw me shortly thereafter and started me on 1/2 of a 20 mg tablet. A few weeks later the full 20 mg. Then back to the 1/2 dosage after quarterly office visits.
The most problematic side effect for me is very loose bowel movements. Every other aspect of my life is much improved.
