A member asked:
I am dealing with severe health anxiety. i have seen a therapist and taken celexa (citalopram) for a week. what else can i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Options.: It takes a while for your serotonin levels to increase with selective serotonin reuptake inhibits - so don't worry that the Celexa (citalopram) is not yet effective. Check out progressive muscle relaxation, deep breathing exercises, qigong, taichi, acupuncture and acupressure as adjuncts to your treatment. Good luck.
