Anxiety making me crazy!

[Irishred77]

I have been suffering from constant nervous stomach and I can't eat. Had a panic attack and basically spent last weekend on the floor rocking back and forth. I seriously thought I was losing my mind. I went to the doctor and the prescribed klopolin and celexa 10mg. How long does it take for the celexa to kick in. I just want to feel like myself again.

Yes I have been on 10 mg for 9 days. I wake up every morning with that awful feeling in my stomach but I get better as the day goes on until late afternoon when it seems to be at its worst. That's when I have been taking the klonopin. I took a klonopin this morning and I will take another one later. I am hoping that will help me get a handle on the anxiety.
Thank you for your help. It's nice to have someone to talk to who understands.

Yes, that's correct. You do need to take it every day for it to build up in your system. Did you start the Celexa yet? How is your anxiety today?

I am on .25 of the klonopin right now. I was taking it as needed but after reading other posts, it sounds like i need to take it twice a day everyday for it to really work.

I'm so sorry to hear your going through this. I do understand because I have severe anxiety myself. Give the meds some time, okay. I know you want them to work instantly but it takes a little time. Some of us start feeling a little relief in a few days and others it can take longer. I think the Klonopin is going to help your anxiety. What dose are you on? Have you started the meds yet? You may feel a few side effects in the beginning like tiredness from the Klonopin and maybe a little nausea from the Celexa. Try not to worry about those because they usually go away. Once the Celexa kicks in and gets in to your system you may not even need the Klonopin any more. Many of the antidepressants like Celexa work on both anxiety and depression.
