I was diagnosed about 10 years ago with Major Depressive Illness and Panic Disorder. Through the years I have tried many different medications with many different undesirable side effects. About 5 years ago I tried Celexa (when it was new) and I have been on it ever since. I had to increase my dosage once, only about 6 months after starting it ... but have maintained on 40mg. per day since then. It has helped greatly with my panic attacks as well, although very rarely I will still have one, and I take a Xanax for that.

Debbie, thank you so much for starting these threads, and being caring enough to share your story. Although I am not in the deep gloom that I was many times before, I still have my down times when I need to remember that I am not the only one who has this disease.

HUGS,

Kim
