Doc said it would be best to come off Celexa to see if that was the cause, and anyhow I've been on it one year and he said he'd like to see how I do w/no meds. But because of my anxiety of losing again after I'm off celexa, he decided to give me clonazepam. I've taken it once during the day since my post and I fell asleep at work and a coworker had to drive me home. Talk about uping the anxiety quotient at work. Embaressing!! Should I just keep trying to take it day and night, it's 2mg a day, or quit and bear the anxiety?
