There : There are two aspects of this question. First, it seems that this medication (celexa) is causing bad side effects for you. There are several reasons for that, one of them is a small variation in liver enzymes (the variation is called a single nucleotide polymorphism or snp) that slows the processing of the medication in the liver and its elimination from the body. This could cause a build up of the drug in the body and bring about intolerable side effects. While there is a laboratory test to determine if the liver enzyme snps are indeed responsible for the side effects, in practice, many physicians simply reduce the dose or switch to another medication that has a different elimination mechanism. The second part of your question is about using antidepressants to treat anxiety and panic disorder. It is known that many antidepressants such as Celexa (citalopram) can be very effective in reducing anxiety symptoms and stopping panic attacks. However, the onset of this beneficial effect is slow and could take several weeks to become noticeable. Fast relief of anxiety can be achieved with benzodiazepine class anti-anxiety medications. However, big drawbacks of these drugs are a loss of the anti-anxiety effect over time and potential development of dependence. Your best course of action would be to discuss your side effects with the physician who prescribed Celexa (citalopram) so that either the dose could be adjusted or it could be replaced with a different medication.
