Have you looked at psychotherapy to help with the anxiety and panic attacks?
Resolving the underlying cause should prevent the recurring anxiety.
Christmas is a stressor for many people.  Maybe this is contributing to the anxiety.

It may be worth discussing the anxiety and panic with your doctor.

thanks so much. I am currently not on any meds except for Ativan that I use rarely. Have been off Lexapro for a year now after taking it for 3 years. Have been having panic attacks and anxiety  again and was curious about the celexa.  
thanks again

I expect the 20 mg but you need to confirm this with a doctor.
If you're planning on making medication changes I recommend you only do this after consulting with your own physician.
