Panic attacks and anxiety

I have been on Celexa for many many months now and about 6 weeks ago or so my Doc upped it too 40 mg. It is helping but not great, is this as good as it is gonna get and is it maybe time to try something else. I have tried many different ssris and srnis in the past. The only I have not been on is Paxil, tried prozac and had an awful reaction to it 2 weeks in. Any help or advice would be great..

Thanks for the input, I was on prozac last spring, and had an awful reaction, it took a few doses of xanex and ativan to get me out of it, after hours in the ER.. I suffer with anxiety and panic attacks and have for over 20 years. I was on ZOloft for 14 or so years and it pooped out on me the fall of 2013 and ever since looking for the same wonder drug zoloft gave me...

I was on celexa for 8.5 yrs.. Started on 20mgs n my dr raised it to 40mgs after 4 yrs cuz it just didn't seem to be working.. After another 4.5 yrs it stopped working so she put me on cipralex... Been on cipralex for about almost 2 yrs now, and I don't find it worked as well as the celexa when it was working... I'm guessing it works different for everybody.. Do u still suffer panic n depression a lot?? Also when my panic n depression started yrs ago, a dr put me on Paxil, but it made me feel like I was losing my mind n going crazy so i had to be weend off
