I have been on Celexa for about 3 months ... although i've been a bit inconsistent and forgot to take it for a bit for a week and also sort of decided to stop it and then started it again. so i don't know if i need an increased dose of it ( 30mg up from 20) as my dr suggested the other day.

i just don't see myself as an anxious person, so i find it difficult to deal with being told i have an anxiety problem. i *honestly* only freak out very occasionally (like going to dr, i really really hate it).

i am really worried about the Ativan and its addictive properties. i've got a month's worth to take in the evenings. it does help with my sleep, but is there a better alternative? a friend said a small dose of amitrip can be good for sleep, and not addictive?

thank you so much for your post T_MD
