User Reviews for Citalopram

Celexa (citalopram): I am 34 years old and have had panic attacks since the age of 7. I have tried everything and nothing was working until I got on Celexa. This drug has totally changed my life. I am a happier person and no longer worry about panic attacks. I wish that I had know about it sooner. I highly recommend this to anyone who has panic attacks. I have not had one panic attack since being on this medication. I have not had any side effects from this drug, and cannot tell that I am even on it besides the fact that everyday I wake up with a smile instead of dreading the day.

Celexa (citalopram): 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.

Celexa (citalopram): 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.

Celexa (citalopram): I have been on Celexa for about 6 months now and find it a wonderful drug for panic disorder. I have suffered with this problem for many years. This drug is it for me and I am sure that it will help you also. Thanks doctor for changing my drug. It has changed my life.

Celexa (citalopram): I have had panic attacks and anxiety and stress for over 10 years now. They tried everything until one Doctor put me on Xanax and it was such a relief for a while. Now I am up to 2mgs 3 times a day and my newest doctor put me on Celexa 6 months ago. There was some nausea at first like he said and sleepiness but it quit after a week or two and it so mellowed me out more. The attacks are less frequent and not near as bad. So for me a God send! I know everyone is different but I have not had one bad thought and can actually go out and shop and do things without worrying about an attack! The nausea was worth working through. Thank you Celexa! It sure helped me!

Celexa (citalopram): I%u2019m 37 and I had been suffering from panic disorder since I was 25 and this works great for anxiety.

Celexa (citalopram): This medication has helped me alot for nearly 4 years.

Celexa (citalopram): Celexa worked great to curb my anxiety. No longer use Xanax at all. However, side effects are getting to me and I am thinking of switching. I am experiencing: extreme fatigue and yawning, weight gain, blurred vision. Doctor is talking about switching me to Effexor. I recommend Celexa highly to anyone.

Celexa (citalopram): It is by far the best drug I have been given to take care of my issues. The side effects did not last too long, maybe two weeks then everything just kept getting better. The only reason I did not give it a 10 rating is this is only the second medicine I have been on for my condition. Overall the best I have felt in the past 8 years. My doctor started me on 40mg. I take Xanax approximately 75% less than as often as I used too, so that makes me happy.

Celexa (citalopram): 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.

Celexa (citalopram): I have been using Celexa for a little over a year now. I was really going through some very stressful situations. Over the years I have been on other medications and was taken off after about a year. I had got to the point that I was having chest pains and could not stand to be around people. I did not want to leave the house. This medication has worked wonders for me. I enjoy being around people now and I no longer have chest pains and I no longer shake like I am freezing. I would recommend Celexa to anyone that needs it.

Celexa (citalopram): I was in a really bad spot with the constant anxiety and panic attacks. It was affecting every aspect of my life negatively. At first I slept a lot, which wasn't necessarily bad since I hadn't been sleeping anyway. Sex was a little off, but at least I feel a lot better and don't feel like I could jump out of my skin 24 hours a day. I hate that I have to take something, but it's much better than the alternative!

Celexa (citalopram): Celexa works for depression not panic attacks. I have been taking Celexa for two years and I am happy, but I am still a very nervous person.

Celexa (citalopram): I was on Lexapro for 6 years before it started to poop out. Besides panic disorder, I have some OCD and I am scared of taken medicine. So, when the doctor wanted me to try Celexa it took three months of therapy and hitting rock bottom before I took it. Well, 5 weeks later things are great. Virtually no panic attacks and it has reduce to obsessive compulsive disorder habits to a minimum. I did have loss of sex drive for the first three weeks, but I am back to normal now and my husband is happy. I was also very scared of gaining more weight. I gained 45 lbs on Lexapro but so far on Celexa I have lost 8 lbs. I hope this medicine never poops out on me.

Celexa (citalopram): I have always struggled with Generalized Anxiety but a year and a half ago I had an awful panic attack out of no where and have been controlled with panic attacks ever since. I switched to Celexa because Zoloft did not seem to be working anymore. I have been on Celexa for 2 weeks and still feel anxious. I am also suffering from insomnia and body jerks when I am trying to fall asleep. I just found out I am pregnant so I had to stop taking Klonopin and I am weening off Celexa. I am so excited about the pregnancy but so nervous about my panic and anxiety. I am planning on intense cognitive therapy to help me through the next 9 months. I pray for a healthy and panic free pregnancy! Celexa did not seem to do the trick for me.

Celexa (citalopram): One day six years ago, I became consumed with anxiety. Panic attacks, head pressure, foggy head, pressure in my ear, nausea, dizziness, tingling appendages appeared literally from out of the blue became my life at 26 years old. I went to numerous Doctors who tested me for EVERYTHING. I managed with Xanax, which seemed to be the only thing that made me feel normal again for brief periods of time. I just wasn't myself and I longed for my old life when I felt confidant and in control. I didn't want to believe that it could all be in my mind and was convinced that I had some unknown disorder. Finally, I went to a Psychiatrist who diagnosed me with Panic Disorder and GAD. I was prescribed Celexa 20.

Celexa (citalopram): 20mg citralopam caused me to have severe anxiety attacks, feel like I cannot relax ever, cannot sleep, I feel dizzy all the time and nauseous, and its given me horrible digestive problems. I have taken Zoloft and Paxil and with good results for years, but started having sexual dysfunction and was switched to citalopram. It stopped my crying spells but I feel like my depression is still there. I just cannot let out my feelings due to this medicine. Only positive is that I can just barely manage to function sexually. I am really surprised to see all these good reviews on here as to how it made others less anxious and more positive and social and even drowsy as it has had the total opposite effect on me.

citalopram: I was given this medicine for panic disorder to ween me off Xanax. It's working great and I only have to take it once a day. I've gone from 3 Xanax a day to 1 every 2 days (unless the sleeping medication does not work), then I'm more likely to panic because of the sleeplessness.

citalopram: First I started on 40mg and I guess my body got used to it. I had to go up to 60mg and everything started getting better. Then, my Dr. told me he had to take me back down to 40mg because a warning was released that anything over 40mg could cause a malfunction with the electrical signals in the heart. I am back on 40mg and things are progressively getting back to where they were to start with. I think I need to change medicines.
