I have had bad bouts of anxiety/panick attacks woth intrusive thoughts since fourth grade. I am now 32, when I would have this bouts I would typically get on something for a few months and it would all subside. I would then be able to get off of whatever I was on and go about my life for a couple years before it would repeat the cycle. This most recent time I have been on various different things over the past 5 years or so, and can't seem to feel "normal" again. I thought I was able to a few months ago so I came off the cymbalta I was on but my dr started me on lexapro while tapering off the cymbalta. The lexapro gave me horribly loud intrusive thoughts and images and I quit taking it very quickly. I was on nothing for a little bit but felt that I didn't feel right and needed to be kn something. So that's where celexa comes in, I had been on it in the past and remembered it being probably the best one I've taken and felt the most normal on. Well this time dr started me at 5mg for a weeks until I had a bad panick attack that left me in the bathroom throwing up until it subsided. My dose was upped to 10mg but not I feel worse than ever, apathetic, anxious, fatigued, bad thoughts and feelings ect.

Has anyone else noticed celexa causing depression or worsening depression you didn't know you had? I'm not sure what to do my doctor is lowering the dose to 5mg and telling me to take rexulti with the 5mg celexa but I don't like the idea or taking more drugs, but I can't keep feeling like this either. I have a hard time falling asleep most of the time and then I wake up in the middle of the night feeling really odd which makes my mind run wild with depressive/anxious(I guess) feelings and I can't get back to sleep.
