I LOVE THE STUFF. I had spent 20 years dealing with extreme anxiety and panic attacks - never knew what life could be like to be free from the nagging worry and tension. I was originally prescribed 20mg- did that for a few years but now I take 10mg 4-5 times a week before bed - any more and I get sleepy, any less and I get grouchy. Work out and eat right and you'll do GREAT. For me Xanax was ineffective - like a sleeping pill - temporary relief but did'nt help the underlying emotions. Celexa does (for me at least).

For anxiety things like Valium, xanix, and ativan are better. The problem with celexa is that it takes a couple of months before it actually works but valium and xanix work immediately. I used to take celexa and it gave me bad side effects so i didn't give it a chance. Everyone is different but it really messed up my eye sight.

I think it is. I also take Celexa 20 mg 1 x day and it has helped me with my anxiety quite a bit. Good luck to you.

For anxiety I like Xanax, It really works and i feel so at rest. I can get a full breath and my attacks are less.
