Celexa (Citalopram) Review

I suffer from a lot of anxiety problems, so naturally I went to my doctor a year or so ago. He didn't want to put me on anything too strong, for which I was thankful, and so he suggested Celexa. Celexa is technically an anti-depressant; however, if you have a mild anxiety disorder, it seems to work quite well.

I first started taking a small amount of Celexa for about six months. At first, it was working great. I felt happy - almost euphoric - and I was so much more relaxed. As a college student, I need all the help I can get keeping my stress levels down, and I noticed an improvement in my mood and in my attention span.

However, things started getting a little worse. My mood was a bit darker and I started having trouble sleeping again. I went to see my doctor, and he simply gave me a higher dose. Things started going well again, and I'm pleased to report that I am now back on my lower dosage with no problems.

The cool thing is that my doctor is certain that in a year or so he can start easing me off of Celexa. I don't like the idea of feeling too "attached" to medications, so it is extremely important to me that I can live without Celexa eventually.
