A member asked:
Can celexa, (citalopram) an anti-anxiety med, cause anxiety? help please?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some people: may feel more anxious when they are initially adjusting to taking Celexa (citalopram) (an antidepressant that can also be used for treatment of anxiety). For most this will resolve. However, if an individual has a bipolar predisposition the Celexa (citalopram) may lead to a manic or hypomanic state. Some might have a paradoxic reaction to the SSRI and feel worse.
