Hi, I recently went off of Celexa, 20mg. Felt fine until I went on a small trip this last weekend. It set me off and my panic attacks returned. I had Lorazapam but I still did not feel well. I used to use Effexor XR, 75mg and switched to Celexa when I planned on having a child. The Effexor worked just fine for me. Travelled, etc, never had an issue. My question is, what is more recommended and safer for panic? I think I should go back on something, but not sure which is best.
HIT hanks for using Chat Doctor Panic disorder is an anxiety disorder and in that case, you should be regular on antidepressant with low dose benzodiazepine. Elena contains citalopram and effector contains venlafaxine. Both are effective in controlling anxiety symptoms. In your case, I would prefer paroxetine. It is one of the best antidepressant which is effective in anxiety disorder. Rest, you can discuss with your psychiatrist. In case, you need further help, you can ask. Thanks
