I had a health scare 7 months ago which brought my anxiety to a new level. Prior to that, my anxiety was slowly increasing due to family issues. Anyway, I’ve been on celexa 20mg for 4 weeks now. I do have good days. But...
Mornings are rough. I have to talk myself off the ledge every morning. And, the physical symptoms throughout the day are terrible. I can deal with the thoughts(usually), it’s the dizziness, muscle stiffness, heavy chest, etc that is the hardest for me at this point.
I feel like the celexa is helping. My question is, will it help with the morning anxiety and physical anxiety symptoms? I try to meditate. I try to eat healthy. I take good supplements. Any other advice or positive stories??
Hi I'm on week 16 off upped dose to 40mg,, I think the morning anxiety and tiredness was the last to go for me but by week 9 in had vanished. It will pass but I'm having a little blip at 16 weeks waking with anxiety again I'm having that little talk to myself which helps a lot. I also take multi vitamin and d12 vits, eat healthier and excercise. The best advice I've had is to ride through the anxiety and not to question why it's come back and that yes it will get better again
I have recently come off another med that I took in addition to celexa, have been taking celexa for 3 years. What I have noticed within the last week, is how tired it makes me so started taking at night, and I wake up with a fuzzy head and feels like tingling all over, the worst wears off after about an hour or two. My body does have anxiety feelings like adrenaline rushes and racing heart, I keep my mind calm and just go with it until one day it disappears, its easier to deal with, am not worried by it, just impatient to feel better, if it doesn't disappear am going to slowly reduce the dosage. Am planning to come off it anyway but have to wait a few months unfortunately.
Thank you for your reply’s. I guess I’ll just ride it out and try to not ask why all the time and just accept it for what it is. Thank you.
