So over a year ago I developed anxiety. I had a panic attack one day when I was in my car and stuck in snow. Ever since then I have fairly moderate anxiety. I tend to avoid certain places in fear of another attack. I usually end up forcing myself do certain things like to go to the grocery store, driving, etc. For some reason I have this fear I will pass out and embarrass myself. Anyway I went to the doc after the first attack and they prescribed me Lexapro. I took it for 6 weeks and did not like it. I was having suicidal thoughts...well I don't know if you can even call them that. It's not like I was planning on killing myself, the last thing I want to do is die, but I was afraid that I would start to get those thoughts and then I wouldn't be able to control myself. If I had never read about suicidal thoughts being a side effect I probably would have never had them.

So about a year has gone by with no meds and I still suffer from anxiety. It's slightly better but I still have it. I went to the doc a few weeks ago and he gave me Buspar. I have been on it for two and a half weeks and yesterday I went back to the doc and was prescribed Celexa. I don't feel as though I am depressed but the doc said Buspar works much better with an anti-d. I have heard this is true. So has anyone had any luck with this combination? I am scared to take the Celexa because I don't want suicidal thoughts, plus I don't want to be a zombie...I just want to live a normal life!
