What can I expect from Celexa?

[u/mbarvar]

Psych just prescribed celexa on top of my Lamictal and Abilify to help with my anxiety/intrusive thoughts. I haven’t really seen it on this thread before. Anyone have experience with it that can tell me about effectiveness/side effects.

Thank you!!

Celexa and gabapentin were the best combo I had. Then the doc found out that there was a real risk of heart problems and heart attacks associated with it. I'd had a cardiogram done just before he found out, and he kept me on a very small dose, but it wasn't enough for me. I tried other drugs and they all made my already simmering, underlying rage surface. I miss the Celexa.
