Anxiety Relapses

Posted by Paulp on January 7, 2001, at 10:55:34

Hi,

I had a nervous breakdown in March 2000 and went on Celexa 20mg daily and Ativan for awhile. I have maintained the Celexa while only using the Ativan once or twice at .5 per week. After about 5 months I felt better and went to work at a new job as a network engineer. The hours were long but I liked the work. Unfortunately the past few days I have been relapsing and getting sick again. I haven't had a full blown anxiety attack yet but feel close to it.

Has anyone ever had a relapse while on Celexa? I thought Celexa was supposed to release Seratonin into the brain eventually short circuiting the anxiety cycle. Also, could this be some sort of Ativan withdrawal on that little bit a week?

I hope I get through this or it's more unemployement and sickness to look forward to :(.

This is the end of the thread.
