I have some questions regarding these 2 meds. I have been on celexa 40mg for a few years now. In the last 6 months or so things have been really stressful and have caused me to get a lot more anxiety and panic attacks. So my doctor suggested I would try Effexor 37.5mg on top of the celexa. I am freaking out about taking too many meds or too much of it, and i know this is part of my anxiety. Another part of me feels that I need a little something else right now, but i am scarred cause I don't like taking meds to begin with. Any advice on what is too much or what is ok?? I want to eventually try to get off t them of course and I am thinking of trying this program, but i need some advice on the meds...anyone??

Hi
I take Effexor.
For me it has been someting I need (along with the program).
It sure helps with panic attacks.
I used to not want to take meds either and most of us claim to be afraid of them. But for me I think it was just pride thinking I should be a strong enough person that I shouldn't need it.
Well for some reason I do.
Not only has it given me relief but my family is also relieved.
Anyway, talk to your doctor about it somemore if you aren't still sure.
He'll answer your questions and help you make a more informed decision.
Have a wonderful day.
