Celexa

[ChafeC]

Good morning

I have been a long sufferer of anxiety that comes and goes. I am currently in a "goes" cycle and suffering constant panic attacks and I have myself convinced that there is something wrong with my heart despite having a normal ECHO in January, a normal treadmill stress test 2 weeks ago, a normal 24 hours holter 2 months ago and normal blood pressure and cholesterol.  My Dr. prescribed me 20 mg of Celexa which I took a few years ago and helped a great deal. HOWEVER, I didn't fill the prescription after reading about the possible side effect including people who stopped breathing while taking it. My question is, if I had no problems while taking it before, what is the risk I would have problems if I went back on it?

Thank you!

There are side effects with all medications and they have to list every single one of them even if only 1 person in a trial experienced it.  So in my non-medical opinion, if you took celexa before and you had no problems you are more than likely not going to have any problems this time.  I take Wellbutrin and seizures is a possible side effect....I don't have seizures on it.  Like I said, they have to list everything even if the chances are slim that you would even experience that side effect.  So give your doc a call, I'm sure they will say the same thing, and go back on the Celexa so that you can start feeling better sooner rather than later.  Take care.
